The story of three multi-generational drag queens traveling through the Outback in a glittery pink bus -- to a disco beat -- takes a back seat to the costumes in Priscilla Queen of the Desert: The Musical. The touring Broadway show is in the middle of its run at the Buell Theatre, which ends September 15. For tickets and information, visit the Denver Center online or call 303-893-4100.
