#TBT The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert
/
Before Kinky Boots, there wasThe Adventures of Priscilla - Queen of the Desert!!!! It's the Australian film that blitzed overseas box offices, caused a near riot at the Cannes Film Festival and won an Academy Award®. It's fun, daring, over-the-top and unforgettable. It's a road movie with attitude and the occasional frock with two drag queens and a transsexual traveling across the desert to perform their unique style of cabaret.
