Clothes Make the (Wo)man, but Not the Musical
NYTimes.com: "You’ll emerge humming the clothes from “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,” the crude, overlong, fantastically colorful musical that opened Monday night at the Palace Theatre. You want your costume pageants served up with wit and genuine emotion? For that, check out “Hairspray” or “La Cage Aux Folles,” two competing West End musicals that couple drag with a direct appeal to the heart."

Translations are always difficult, but it's a little disappointing to see such a vibrant production fall flat. At least the costumes were good. But as a student of costume design, I may put too much stock on this.
