No, it wasn't inspired by the French movie or the American remake, or even the Broadway musical. Actually, it's more like the stage show derived from the movie Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Female impersonators dress up as various entertainers (with varying degrees of success) to lip-sync to those celebrity entertainers' greatest hits (with varying degrees of success). The celebs lampooned can include Cher, Bette Midler, Judy Garland, Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick, and, intriguingly, Michael Jackson. A Joan Rivers impersonator, looking not unlike the original but sounding not at all like her (even with the aid of an odd constant echo), is the hostess, delivering scatological phrases and stale jokes. They do make the most of a tiny stage with some pretty stunning lighting, though the choreography is bland. But it's been running forever, so for some folks, they are doing something right. Wednesday through Monday at 7:30pm.
wherever it appears.
