I guess if you're into "Rocky Horror" (which easy child is, big-time, by the way) you'd love Priscilla.
Re Rocky Horror - easy child has a cushion shaped like red lips, she now has a keyring - same shape, X-rated sound effects (courtesy of last Christmas from easy child 2/difficult child 2).
She's got the DVD, she'd got the CD, she's got the karoake CD and she's got the sheet music. After the success of the film Little Nell (Nell Campbell), who played Columbia, owned a bar in New York called "Nells" or "Little Nell's". Her father was Ross Campbell, a journalist and column writer in Australia up til he died in the late Sixties. In his column he always referred to his daughter as Little Nell (the name of a 19th Century melodrama character).
easy child, her friends & I went to the 10th anniversary midnight karaoke screening in the heart of Sydney. We went in costume. I still have the souvenir ticket - red refraction foil, laminated.
I'm just waiting for them to do the same with "Priscilla".
A bit of trivia on "Priscilla" - the woman playing Tick's wife (the one who runs the entertainment in the resort) is Diane Craig. In real life she's married to Garry McDonald, whose comic character, Norman Gunston, did so much for Australian comedy in the Seventies. His interview with Sally Struthers is still played in snippets on "History of Australian Television" shows. Norman Gunston was a sort of Borat character, interviewing people and totally blowing away any pretensions. Sally Struthers didn't have any pretensions, she just got the giggles and couldn't stop laughing. Garry is a brilliant actor and I guess these days would be called bipolar (original label - manic depressive). "Priscilla" was full of cameos, all sorts of people well-known in Australia.
The stage show is doing the rounds of the country right now - same costume designers (Lizzie Gardiner, etc). Lizzie was the one who turned up at the Oscars to accept her award wearing a dress made from gold Amex cards. Amex were unimpressed.
