ON STAGE IN 2021
Postponement of Production; Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Sadly, our divas and drag queens are going to have to put the frou-frou, feathers and sequins back into storage for a little while longer. While CLOC had hoped to present Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in October 2020, the continuing restrictions, uncertainties and health risks resulting from COVID-19 have forced us again to postpone the show.
CLOC is hopeful of staging Priscilla in the first half of 2021, with Jersey Boys to follow in the second half, but this, and our precise timing, will remain dependent on an easing of the social distancing requirements.
When Priscilla finally makes its way onto the National Theatre stage, not only will it lift the spirits of both audiences and cast, but it will lift the roof off the National Theatre with spectacle, colour, love and happiness. We hope you will be there to join us as we celebrate our re‑emergence with just the right show to put a tap in your toes and a smile on your face.

Based on the iconic Oscar-winning 1994 Australian film, PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT is the hilarious adventure of three loud, proud and very different friends who hop aboard a battered old bus bound for the outback to put on the show of a lifetime when political correctness was just a thought bubble. Along the way, they strut, dance, sing, laugh, cry, and learn more about themselves – while singing up a storm to a non-stop parade of dance-floor classics including It’s Raining Men, Hot Stuff, I Will Survive, I Love the Nightlife, Go West, Colour My World, Boogie Wonderland, Shake Your Groove Thing and many more!
