Top 10 Priscilla Quotes
The top 10 quotes from The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
There’s much to celebrate in 2018 when it comes to The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
In January, writer/director Stephan Elliott’s latest film Swinging Safari, which he has called a “Priscilla reunion”, will be hitting screens. Previously titled Flammable Children, it reunites Elliott with Priscilla actor Guy Pearce, producer Al Clark, production designer Colin Gibson, costume designer Lizzy Gardiner (who won an Academy Award for her work on Priscilla), composer Guy Gross and editor Sue Blainey.
Also in January, the hit musical adaptation of Priscilla that Elliott co-wrote will begin parading its way around the country on a national tour. The 10th anniversary tour will begin in Melbourne, and sashay to Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane throughout the year.
So as Australia’s most successful homegrown musical revs her engine, let’s look back through some of the top 10 faaaaaabulous quotes from the film.
