B. Scott will be in attendance at Outfest’s 25th Anniversary Screening of Priscilla Queen of the Desert tonight!

For those of you who may not be familiar with this cult gay film (1994), here’s the plot synopsis and a video of my three favorite drag queens ever performing CeCe Peniston’s “Finally.” The costumes designed by Tim Chappel are just splendiferous!

Anthony “Teke” Belrose, a.k.a. Mitzi Del Bra, a drag queen, accepts an offer to perform at a casino in Alice Springs, a remote town in central Australia. After persuading his friends and fellow performers, Bernadette Bassenger, a.k.a. Ralph – a recently bereaved transsexual woman – and Adam Whitely, a.k.a. Felicia Jollygoodfellow – an irritatingly flamboyant and obnoxious drag queen – to join him, the three set out for Alice Springs in a large tour bus which Adam/Felicia christens “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert“. Guy Pearce plays Adam/Felicia, Terence Stamp plays Bernadette/Ralph and Hugo Weaving plays Teke/Mitzi.

They encounter on the way the less accepting attitudes of rural Australia, sexual violence, and the problems of vehicle breakdowns. The troupe eventually arrives at their destination with costumes and dance routines prepared. Before they arrive, Teke reveals that he is married, and that the trip is a favor for his wife, who runs the casino where they will be performing. Upon arriving, they learn that Teke and his wife also have a young son.
