**** Recommended **** Mercury Theatre’s production of "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert" is all about disco music and ‘dancing queens’ in sequined costumes.  It’s totally over-the-top and a fabulously fun time!  Unless you’re a Grinch, you go home laughing and happy.  The whole premise, the adventures of three drag queens driving across the Australian Outback, is insane, but don’t let that get in the way.  No one else does!  People were whooping it up from the first note.  I love "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" and I think you will too!  4 Spotlights.
