The UK Tour start in August for Priscilla Queen of the Desert in Manchester. In the same vein, auditions for the role of Adam (Felicia) is now open as the tour kicks on high gear as reported by WhatsOnStage. This update comes at the heels of the teasers that showed screen tests featuring Blue member Duncan James in the role of Tick.
The level of transformation that James went through put at risk, in Duncan’s own words, “my street cred”. Surely there is a street cred to worry about at first. But the make up applied made wonders to make him look believable as one of the main drag queens. It makes the fans newly-converted to Priscilla Queen of the Desert in Manchester understand the kind of power of musical spin-offs. Wonders do happen granted the right material is used. And British fans are only too happy to contain themselves in the coming Priscilla Queen of the Desert in Manchester.
Looking at Duncan James would give aspiring actors an idea what they need for someone that can play Adam (Felicia). A muscular frame is a must. Vocal power within strong tenor levels would be highly advisable as well. Dance skills? Of course. They better be great. Being familiar with Priscilla Queen of the Desert in Manchester would help a lot. Have an upbeat song to use as audition piece. The rest that you would need would be your curriculum vitae, photo(s) and sheet music for your chosen audition piece. Date is set at June 18, 2015 with the audition facilitators right at the Dragon Hall, Coven Stukeley Street, London, UK.
For a musical production packed with so much biting humor and off-the-rails hilarity, the requisites are pretty serious. This is Priscilla Queen of the Desert in Manchester after all.
The role of Tick at Priscilla Queen of the Desert i Manchester will be a role that James will share with another 90’s pop sensation. And that guy would be Jason Donovan of “Especially for You” fame. He is known for sharing one of the most memorable chart-toppers with fellow Aussie Kylie Minogue. As of this writing, Donovan is now among veteran musical theater actors in London today. Having a decorated career in pop music, Donovan has carved another name for himself upon getting immersed in popular musical productions. Notable musicals that he got cast into are Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Sweeney Todd. Seeing him alternate with James for the role of Tick is one hell of an interesting casting here at Priscilla Queen of the Desert in Manchester.
