Casting has been revealed for Priscilla the Party, the immersive party adaption of Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical at London's HERE at Outernet. Staged by the original creative team behind the preceding musical and reimagined by original director Simon Phillips, it will play the Soho venue beginning March 3, with an official opening night March 25.
The original Priscilla: Queen of the Desert first debuted in Sydney in 2006, before heading to the West End in 2009, and running on Broadway in 2011.

They will be joined by John McGlone, Matthew Facchino, Isidro Ridout, Brandon Gale, William Elijah-Lewis, Samuel Stokes, Dan Holland, Kimberly Blake, Lucy Park, Maria Myatt, and Teagan Denham.
Staged at Here at Outernet, a high tech entertainment venue, audience members will have the opportunity to enjoy a premium dining experience featuring a three-course meal, or sit or stand on the dance floor. For those who choose seats around or on the dance floor, an array of bar snacks and drinks will be available from the expansive bar area.
The immersive production will feature the same award-winning costumes from the original iteration of the musical, plus beloved renditions of disco-pop hits like "Hotstuff," "It’s Raining Men," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," "Finally, "Go West," "Say A Little Prayer," "I Will Survive," and more.
