NEW YORK, July 21 (UPI) -- Nick Adams, Tony Sheldon and Will Swenson are to lead the cast of the pre-Broadway North American company of "Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical."
The casting for the stage musical -- which was written by Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott and directed by Simon Phillips -- was announced by its producers Wednesday.
Adams, Sheldon and Swenson are to play a "trio of friends on a heart-warming, uplifting adventure who hop aboard a battered old bus searching for love and friendship in the middle of the Australian outback and end up finding more than they could ever have dreamed."
The show is to begin performances at The Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto for a 12-week, pre-Broadway engagement beginning Oct. 12 and officially opening Oct. 26.
"Priscilla" is to open on Broadway in Spring 2011 at a theater to be announced.
The musical is adapted from the film "The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert," starring Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce.
