West End Review: Priscilla: Queen of the Desert (Palace Theatre London)

Very first review for this kind of thing and don't expect this to be a regular thing like my other reviews are so just be aware of that. This sort of review will be broken into parts like my video game reviews, so away we go:

Story:
The Story takes place in Sydney Australia where 3 drag queens go on an adventure to Alice Springs. One of them is hoping to be reunited with his son and former wife while another one looks for a love life and the other one just comes for the shear fun of it. They use a tour bus codenamed "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert" and come across some weird and wacky characters along the way. Despite being quite camp and gay for me, its a good comedic storyline to follow which is always the joy of musicals. 9/10

Presentation:
The presentation is excellent with everything being very colourful and fantastic. The stage was just perfect for the show and even the bus was good as well. 8/10

Theatre:
The outside of the theatre was good and I was sitting on the balcony (not the posh one but a different one) when inside. There wasn't that many stairs to climb which was good and there was a souvenir shop as I entered (only bought a brochure/programme of the show). The seating wasn't that great due to legroom not being so good and despite constantly moving my body to actually see the show (person below me was blocking my view), I managed to see most of it and there was also some binoculars that I would've used but decided not to in the end. 6/10

Overall, despite the seating, he show was great and is definitely worth seeing for just that comedic feel (Not for children though). 9/10
