Priscilla Queen of the desert



Priscilla Queen of the desert theatre breaks in London

Jason Donovan stars as Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical rolls into London's Palace Theatre.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert Comes to London
Based on the Oscar-winning film, Priscilla Queen of the Desert is the story of Tick, Bernadette and Adam, a glamorous Sydney-based performing trio who take their show to the middle of the Australian outback.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert is the heart-warming, uplifting adventure of three friends who hop aboard a battered old bus (nicknamed Priscilla) searching for love and friendship, and end up finding even more than that.

Bench Removed For Maintenance

Bench Removed For Maintenance but why is it necessary to tell everybody about it with such a prominent sign?

And when will the maintained bench be put back? The sign has been there for months now.

A thick fog came down one afternoon, and when I went out in the early evening it was still hanging about. The foggy atmosphere made the light interesting so I took this picture on the station.

St Pancras Station for Eurostar Deals

I was at St Pancras Station and it's obvious that Eurostar Deals are making the whole area popular, not just as a terminal for boarding th etrains but for some shopping and refreshment as well.



It was a weekend so its possible that not all these travellers are off to Paris on the Eurostar for business deals but may well be off for a pre christmas break or a spot of Parisian shopping. It won;t be my turn to visit Paris until at least the spring though probably. Last time we went by Eurostar it was just after the new high speed track from St Pancras to Gare du Nord had opened.

London theatre blogged at Joseph theatre breaks on London theatre blog. I'm not sure if the show will continue in the Adelphi after January next year or not. Lee Mead finishes then, but auditions could be taking place for a replacement Joseph.
