Cambridge Arts Theatre
Drag queens Mitzi Mitosis and Felicia hit the road in their campervan and drive across Australia to perform in Alice Springs. Along with their friend and transgender woman Bernadette, they encounter small-town bars, new friends and hate crime as they battle against the odds to make it in time for their opening number. Expect sing-along dance floor classics, eye-popping costumes and spectacular dance routines. Featuring an iconic musical score of pop hits such as Hot Stuff, It’s Raining Men and I Will Survive, this was a theatre trip guaranteed to have you dancing in the aisles!
The original motion picture was written and directed by Stephan Elliott, produced by Al Clark and Michael Hamlyn, executive producer Rebel Penfold-Russell and was financed with the assistance of the Film Finance Corporation Australia Limited and the New South Wales Film and Television Office.
