Priscilla the Party! to close in the West End more than four months early

The jukebox musical based on the 1994 film follows a string of high-profile early closures with producers saying the show has faced ‘difficult times’

An immersive jukebox musical production based on the 1994 Australian film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is to close more than four months early in the West End. Priscilla the Party! had been booking until the end of September but will now have its last performance on 26 May. In a statement, the producers said that it was “no longer sustainable” to support the show financially and that “the production has been facing difficult times”.

Billed as an “all-singing, all-dancing immersive party and musical theatre extravaganza”, the show is running at London’s £1bn Outernet complex in the Here venue with an audience capacity of just over 700. Theatregoers can join in the show on the dancefloor or choose a seated ticket including dining options. The show’s website reveals “good availability” for all but one of the remaining 23 performances. Prices start at £45.
