The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is a 1994 Australian comedy-drama film written and directed by Stephan Elliott. The plot follows two drag queens played by Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce and a transgender woman, played by Terence Stamp, as they journey across the Australian Outback from Sydney to Alice Springs in a tour bus that they have named 'Priscilla', along the way encountering various groups and individuals. The film's title references the slang term 'queen' for a drag queen or female impersonator.

The film was a surprise worldwide hit and its positive portrayal of LGBT individuals helped to introduce LGBT themes to a mainstream audience.^[2] It received predominantly positive reviews and won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design at the 67th Academy Awards. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the 1994 Cannes Film Festival and became a cult classic in both Australia and abroad.^[3]Priscilla subsequently provided the basis for a musical, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which opened in 2006 in Sydney before travelling to New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada and Broadway.

Plot

Anthony 'Tick' Belrose (Hugo Weaving), using the drag pseudonym of Mitzi Del Bra, is a Sydney-based drag queen who accepts an offer to perform his drag act at Lasseters Hotel Casino Resort managed by his estranged wife Marion in Alice Springs, a remote town in central Australia. After persuading his friends and fellow performers, Bernadette Bassenger (Terence Stamp), a recently bereaved transgender woman, and Adam Whitely (Guy Pearce), a flamboyant and obnoxious younger drag queen who goes under the drag name Felicia Jollygoodfellow, to join him, the three set out for a four-week run at the casino in a large tour bus, which Adam christens 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'.

While on the long journey through remote lands bordering the Simpson Desert, they meet a variety of characters, including a group of friendly Aboriginal Australians for whom they perform, the less accepting attitudes of rural Australia in such towns as Coober Pedy, and are subjected to homophobic abuse, violence, including having their tour bus vandalized with homophobic graffiti.

When the tour bus breaks down in the middle of the desert, Adam spends the whole day repainting it lavender to cover up the vandalism. The trio later meet Bob, a middle-aged mechanic from a small outback town who joins them on their journey. Before they arrive at Alice Springs, Tick reveals that Marion is actually his wife, as they never divorced, and that they are actually going there as a favour to her. Continuing their journey, Adam is almost mutilated by a homophobic gang before he is saved by Bob and Bernadette. Adam is shaken and Bernadette comforts him, allowing them to reach an understanding. Likewise, the others come to terms with the secret of Tick's marriage and resolve their differences. Together, they fulfill a long-held dream of Adam's, which, in the original plan, is to climb Kings Canyon in full drag regalia.

Upon arrival at the hotel, it is revealed that Tick and Marion also have an eight-year-old son, Benjamin, whom Tick has not seen for many years. Tick is nervous about exposing his son to his drag profession and anxious about revealing his homosexuality, though he is surprised to discover that Benjamin already knows and is fully supportive of his father's sexuality and career. By the time their contract at the resort is over, Tick and Adam head back to Sydney, taking Benjamin back with them, so that Tick can get to know his son. However, Bernadette decides to remain at the resort for a while with Bob, who has decided to work at the hotel after the two of them had become close.

Production

Development

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert had originally been conceived by filmmakers Stephan Elliott and Stuart Quin, who were at the time in production of a film called Frauds. They and producer Andrena Finlay initially tried to pitch Priscilla to various financiers at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, but were unsuccessful,^[4] and so instead took the film's concept to PolyGram and, with the backing of the Australian Film Finance Corporation, were able to begin production of the film on a relatively low budget of 3.123 million Australian dollars.

Elliott and the film's producers, Michael Hamlyn and Al Clark, agreed to work for $50,000 each, a relatively low fee for filmmakers at the time, while the lack of funding meant that the crew agreed to receive takings of the film's eventual profits in compensation for their low salaries.^[5] Due to the involvement of the Australian FFC, only one non-Australian actor was allowed to appear in the film, and Clark initially considered David Bowie, whom he had known back in the 1980s, and later briefly thought of John Hurt, although neither was available.^[6]

Casting

In May 1993, after travelling around the Australian Outback searching for appropriate sites to film in, Priscilla's creators attended the Cannes Film Festival and Marche to advertise their project, hoping to capitalise on the selection of Elliot's first film Frauds which was 'In Competition' at the festival and despite the fact that they had not yet confirmed any actors for the roles. Their primary choice for the role of Bernadette was Tony Curtis, who read and approved of the script, but eventually became unavailable. They then approached John Cleese, who was not interested.

For the part of Tick, they had initially wanted Rupert Everett and for Adam they wanted Jason Donovan.^[7] However, at a pre-production casting meeting held at Cannes, Everett and Donovan did not get on well with one another and were found to be openly hostile toward the production staff. In light of this, it was readily agreed that they would not be suitable for the parts^[8] and the search for their three leading men would resume. However, Donovan would go on to play Tick in the West End musical adaptation of the film.

After unsuccessfully lobbying Colin Firth to play the role, producers eventually awarded the part to Hugo Weaving. Initially considering Tim Curry for the part of Bernadette, they cast Terence Stamp, who was initially anxious about the role because it was unlike anything that he had performed previously, although he eventually came on board with the concept.^[9] Stamp himself suggested Bill Hunter for the role of Bob, who accepted the role without even reading the script or being told anything about the greater concept of the film other than the basic character description, while Australian actor Guy Pearce was hired at the eleventh hour direct from the Australian soap operaSnowy River to portray the sassy but sprite Adam.^[10]

Filming

Al Clark^[11]

Many scenes, including one where Bernadette encounters a butch, bigoted, Australian woman named Shirley, were filmed at the Outback town of Broken Hill in New South Wales, largely in a hotel known as Mario's Palace (now the Palace Hotel), which Al Clark believed was 'drag queen heaven'.^[12][13] Some small scenes were filmed in the All Nations Hotel. They also decided to film at Coober Pedy, a rough-and-tumble mining town in Central Australia featured prominently in the film. An interesting side note is that the Executive Producer, Rebel Penfold-Russell appears as the marathon runner .^[14]

Initially, they tried to get permission to film upon the geological formation formerly known as Ayers Rock or 'the Rock' (Uluru), but this was rejected by organizations responsible for the monument, such as the Uluru Board of Management, as it would have been in violation of Indigenous Australian religious beliefs.^[15] Instead, the scene was filmed in King's Canyon.^[16] Dialogue from the scene was rewritten slightly to accommodate the new location.

Post-production

With filming over, the director and producers began editing the footage, repeatedly travelling to both London and to Los Angeles, which had then just been hit by the 1994 Northridge earthquake. On the advice of early viewers, the film was shortened and scenes such as Adam's flashback about his paedophilic uncle were cut out.^[17]

Release

Box office

Cd Priscilla A Rainha Do Deserto Download

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert took $18,459,245 at the box office in Australia,^[18] which is equivalent to $28,529,000 in 2010. ^[19]

Being an Australian film, not an American-produced Hollywood blockbuster, Priscilla was released as a minor commercial product in North America and other English-speaking nations.^[20]

Director Elliott noted that the audiences viewing the film in Australia, the United States, and France all reacted to it differently, going on to state that 'At a screening we had for an Australian audience, they laughed at all the Aussieisms. The Americans laughed too, but at different jokes. There is a line where Tick says, 'Bernadette has left her cake out in the rain...' [The French audience] didn't get it, whereas the Americans laughed for ten minutes.'^[21] Tom O'Regan, a scholar of film studies, remarked that the film actually carried different meanings for members of different nationalities and subcultural groups, with LGBT Americans believing that the film was 'the big one that will bring gay lifestyles into the mainstream', while Australians tended to 'embrace it as just another successful Australian film'.^[22]

Critical reaction

On Rotten Tomatoes, Priscilla has a 95% 'Certified Fresh' rating based on 44 reviews, with an average rating of 7.31/10; the consensus states: 'While its premise is ripe for comedy -- and it certainly delivers its fair share of laughs -- Priscilla is also a surprisingly tender and thoughtful road movie with some outstanding performances.'^[23] Metacritic reports a 70 out of 100 rating, based on 20 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.^[24]

American film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times felt that Bernadette was the key part of the film, stating that 'the real subject of the movie is not homosexuality, not drag queens, not showbiz, but simply the life of a middle-aged person trapped in a job that has become tiresome.'^[25] Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote 'The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert presents a defiant culture clash in generous, warmly entertaining ways.'^[26] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone commented 'In this roaringly comic and powerfully affecting road movie, Terence Stamp gives one of the year’s best performances.'^[26] Kenneth Turan from the Los Angeles Times wrote 'The comic pizazz and bawdy dazzle of this film’s vision of gaudy drag performers trekking across the Australian outback certainly has a boisterous, addictive way about it.'^[26]

Accolades

The film was ranked 7th on Logo's 50 Greatest Films with an LGBT theme,^[27] and #10 on AfterElton's Fifty Greatest Gay Movies list.^[28]

Cultural impact and legacy

Priscilla, along with other contemporary Australian films Young Einstein (1988), Sweetie (1989), Strictly Ballroom (1992), and Muriel's Wedding (1994), provided Australian cinema with a reputation for 'quirkiness', 'eccentricity' and 'individuality' across the world.^[2] Both Priscilla and Muriel's Wedding (which had also featured a soundtrack containing ABBA songs) in particular became cult classics, not only in their native Australia, but also in the United Kingdom, where a wave of Australian influences, such as the soap operasNeighbours and Home and Away, had made their mark in the late 1980s and early 1990s.^[29]

In 1995, an American film, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, was released, featuring three drag queens who travel across the United States. According to Al Clark, the creators of Priscilla heard about the film while shooting theirs, and 'for a moment [were] troubled' until they read the script of To Wong Foo, when they decided that it was sufficiently different from Priscilla to not be a commercial and critical threat.^[30]To Wong Foo proved to be critically far less successful than Priscilla, only gaining a 41% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.^[31] Financially however, To Wong Foo did better at the box office making three times as much in the U.S. with over 36 million dollars.^[32]

During the Closing Ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Priscilla was part of a parade of images of Australian popular culture. A 1980 Ford Denning (resembling the bus used in the film) featuring a giant steel stiletto heel which extended from and retracted into the roof — inspired by scenes from the film — paraded around the Olympic Stadium. The bus was accompanied by several stiletto heel tricycle floats and drag queens in big wigs in tribute to the film's international success and the local Sydneygay community.^[33][34] The music video for Iggy Azalea's 2013 single 'Work' paid homage to scenes from the film.^[35]

Racism and sexism controversy

The film has come under criticism for alleged racist and sexist elements, particularly in the portrayal of the Filipina character, Cynthia. Melba Margison of the Centre for Filipino Concerns stated that Cynthia was portrayed as 'a gold-digger, a prostitute, an entertainer whose expertise is popping out ping-pong balls from her sex-organ, a manic depressive, loud and vulgar. The worst stereotype of the Filipina.' She argued that, by portraying Cynthia in this manner, the filmmakers were 'violently kill[ing]' the dignity of Filipina women, something that she feared would lead to 'more violence against us'.^[36] An editor writing in The Age echoed these concerns, highlighting that 'It is perhaps a pity that a film with a message of tolerance and acceptance for homosexuals should feel the need of what looks very much to us like a racist and sexist stereotype.'^[36] Similarly, in his study of bisexuality in cinema, Wayne M. Bryant argued that while it was 'an excellent film', The Adventures of Priscilla was marred by 'instances of gratuitous sexism'.^[37]

Producer Clark defended the film against these accusations, arguing that while Cynthia was a stereotype, it was not the purpose of filmmakers to avoid the portrayal of 'vulnerable characters' from specific minority backgrounds. He stated that she was 'a misfit like the three protagonists are, and just about everybody else in the film is, and her presence is no more a statement about Filipino women than having three drag queens is a statement about Australian men.'^[36]Tom O'Regan noted that as a result of this controversy, the film gained 'an ambiguous reputation.'^[38]

Soundtrack

The film featured a soundtrack made up of pre-existing 'camp classics' (pop music songs that have a particular fanbase in the LGBT community). The original plan by the film's creators was to have a Kylie Minogue song in the finale, although it was later decided that an ABBA song would be more appropriate because its 'tacky qualities' were 'more timeless'^[39] (although in the musical adaptation, the character Adam performs a medley of Kylie Minogue songs atop Uluru). The film itself featured four main songs, which were performed by two or more of the drag queens as a part of their show within the film; 'I've Never Been to Me' by Charlene, 'I Will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor, 'Finally' by CeCe Peniston, and 'Mamma Mia' by ABBA. On 23 August 1994, Fontana Island released the soundtrack on CD.^[40]

Original music for the soundtrack was composed by Guy Gross, with choral arrangements by Derek Williams, and released separately on CD.^[41]

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is a musical with a book by Australian film director-writer Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott, using well-known pop songs as its score. Adapted from Elliott's 1994 film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the musical tells the story of two drag queens and a transgender woman, who contract to perform a drag show at a resort in Alice Springs, a resort town in the remote Australian desert. As they head west from Sydney aboard their lavender bus, Priscilla, the three friends come to the forefront of a comedy of errors, encountering a number of strange characters, as well as incidents of homophobia, while widening comfort zones and finding new horizons.

Produced by Allan Scott in coalition with Back Row Productions, Michael Chugg, Michael Hamlyn and John Frost, the Simon Phillips-directed and Ross Coleman-choreographed original production of Priscilla debuted in Australia at the Lyric Theatre, Sydney in October 2006. Having had a successful run in Sydney, the production transferred to Melbourne in 2007 and then Auckland, New Zealand in 2008, before returning to Sydney for a limited engagement. The Australasian success of Priscilla provoked a two-year strong West End production in addition to its Bette Midler-produced Broadway debut in 2011. While the original production received one out of its seven Helpmann Award nominations, Priscilla was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical as well as two Tony Awards, winning these awards in the costume design categories.

Synopsis[edit]

Act I[edit]

The drag queen Mitzi Mitosis – whose real name is Anthony 'Tick' Belrose – is performing at a club ('Downtown' [Australia and London]/'I've Never Been to Me'; 'It's Raining Men' [Broadway]) when his wife Marion, whom he has been separated from for several years because of his homosexuality, calls in for a favour. While Tick is offstage, fellow drag queen Miss Understanding performs her own number ('What's Love Got to Do With It?'). From the phone in Tick's dressing room, Marion reveals that she needs an act for a few weeks at her business in distant Alice Springs, Australia. Tick is at first reluctant, but Marion informs him that part of the reason she's asking is because their now eight-year-old son Benji wants to meet his father ('I Say A Little Prayer'). Tick confides in another fellow drag queen Farrah, before deciding he will leave for Alice Springs. After he decides to do the job, Tick calls a friend, a transgender woman named Bernadette – whose birth name is Ralph – to join him but sadly, Bernadette's husband has just died. The pair meet at the funeral ('Don't Leave Me This Way') where Bernadette agrees to join him. Tick also asks a friend Felicia – whose real name is Adam Whitely – to come with them ('Venus'/'Material Girl'), with Bernadette taking an immediate dislike to his show-off performance style. Nonetheless, the newly formed trio buy a 'budget Barbiecampervan' they nickname 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' ('Go West'). Tick informs them that the trip is a favour to his wife, but does not tell them it is also to meet his son who wants to see him ('I Say A Little Prayer (Reprise)'). As the journey to Alice Springs begins, Adam angers Bernadette after cracking jokes about her old life before transitioning. Later the group goes into a bar, in full drag, and start a bar dance party ('I Love the Nightlife'), but when they return to the bus learn that the townspeople wrote hateful statements on the bus in spray paint. Tick is very upset, but Adam and Bernadette comfort him ('Both Sides, Now'/'True Colors'). While on the road, Adam practices his lip-syncing as Felicia sitting in the giant high heel on the roof of the van ('Follie! Delirio vano è questo! Sempre libera (from La traviata)'). The next morning, Priscilla breaks down and Adam buys lavender paint to erase the vandalism ('Colour My World'). They manage to get the locals of another town on their side and meet Bob, a mechanic from a small town nearby who agrees to help fix Priscilla. The group celebrates that they've found people that accept them ('I Will Survive').

Act II[edit]

The second act opens with a group of bogans singing ('Thank God I'm A Country Boy'). Bernadette talks with Bob and learns that when he was in Sydney, he saw her when she was a young 'Les Girl' ('A Fine Romance'). The two begin to grow feelings for each other. Later in a bar ('Thank God I'm A Country Boy Reprise'), the trio is about to perform ('Shake Your Groove Thing') when Cynthia, Bob's wife, interrupts their act by 'popping' ping-pong balls ('Pop Muzik'). After this, the trio leaves, leaving Bob to wonder about his feelings for Bernadette ('A Fine Romance (Reprise)'). All of a sudden, Bernadette asks if he wants a free ride back to his real home, in which he agrees ('Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'). Later when they arrive, Adam dresses up like a woman to try to meet men ('Hot Stuff'), but ends up getting chased and nearly becomes the victim of a hate crime until Bernadette rescues him by kicking one of his attackers. Later as they arrive in Alice Springs, Tick reflects on the trip after someone literally leaves the cake out in the rain ('MacArthur Park'). As another act performs first ('Boogie Wonderland'), the trio gets ready to perform a variety of songs that they sang or lip-synced on their journey ('The Floor Show'). Afterwards, Tick finally meets his son, Benji, who accepts his father's sexuality and lifestyle ('Always on My Mind/I Say a Little Prayer') and Adam gets to perform his own solo Madonna hit, ('Like A Prayer' [Broadway]; 'Confide in Me/Kylie Medley' [Australia and West End]), his favorite singer. Afterwards the gang talks about their plans after Alice Springs, and realize they can't leave each other ('We Belong'). They go off stage together and the company performs a medley of songs to close the show ('Finally (Finale)').

Musical numbers[edit]

Original Australian and New Zealand production[edit]

Amendments for the West End production[edit]

• (†) 'I Say a Little Prayer' is the fifth number, and is again reprised as the ninth number of the show in the West End production. This, therefore, means that each number (from the fifth number onwards) in Act I is one number delayed. This gives a total of fourteen numbers in Act I of the West End production.
• (*) 'Go West (reprise)' is replaced by 'Come into My World' in the West End production.
• (^) Although replaced by 'Kylie Medley' in the West End production, 'Confide in Me' appears in that medley.

Broadway and Internationally[edit]

• * – Song does not appear on Original Broadway Cast Recording.

UK Tour[edit]

10th Anniversary Australian Production 2018[edit]

• (†) Replace Venus from the Original Production which was replaced by Material Girl in the International Productions.

Recordings[edit]

A cast recording of the original Australian production was released on 29 September 2007;^[49] both in stores and on the Australian iTunes. All songs, with the exception of the reprise of 'Go West', from the original Australian production are present on the recording and are performed by the original Australian cast. A Broadway cast recording was released on 5 April 2011.

Critical reception[edit]

In reviewing the West End production, the London Evening Standard (thisislondon) reviewer wrote: 'From the first moments when three divas hang suspended high above a silver-spangled bridge and belt out Downtown, the show never loses its spectacular, helter-skelter momentum of songs to which the drag queens lip-sync.'^[50]

Reviews for the Toronto production include praise for the costumes from the Globe and Mail: 'The costumes designed by Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner, the same team that won an Oscar for the movie, are a fabulous mix of Village People meet Tim Burton culminating in, at the curtain call, a whole crass menagerie of dragged-up koalas and 'roos.' The Star favorably wrote: 'This eye-popping, ear-pleasing, toe-tapping honey of a show moves like a cyclone from start to finish and will leave you gasping for breath on numerous occasions, thanks to its spectacular spectacle, its raunchy humour and its virtuoso performances.'^[51]

Social impact[edit]

The debut of Priscilla in 2006 followed a growing awareness of the drag and transgender community in Australia^[52]. The story successfully speaks to the idiosyncrasies of Australian culture through popular music, whilst also telling a universal story of acceptance. The narrative continues to resonate with a global contemporary audience, due to the enduring relevance of themes addressed^[53]. Priscilla presents its audience with challenging content in a nonthreatening manner through the use of spectacle and familiarity, characteristic of jukebox musicals^[54]. The musical is powerful, acting to break down societal stereotypes and demystify LGBTI themes. It empowers and humanises the historically demonised LGBTI community, encouraging individuality and allowing recognition of their talent^[55].

Dispute over use of recorded music[edit]

Use of a recorded string section in the Broadway production of Priscilla led to a dispute between producers and the American Federation of Musicians (AFM). The AFM argues that using recordings in place of live music is a marginal cost-saving measure which cheats audiences of the full, rich sound of a live orchestra. Producers argued that the artistic conception of the show requires a 'synthetic pop flavor' that can only be achieved with recorded music. AFM member Scott Frankel, who composed the music for Grey Gardens, stated: 'What is most special about seeing a Broadway musical, rather than some other art form, is the interaction between the orchestra musicians and the performers onstage'. The dispute is currently awaiting arbitration.^[56]
