Out magazine has just published my interview the the stars of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert – the Musical. It was a rather new type of writing assignment for me. I went to the Pierre Hotel after nearly eight hours of being in a public school in the South Bronx. Having been surrounded by Eva Moskowtiz trained lilliputians, to then find myself on a set filled with Broadway leading men, drag queens, and photographer Roger Erickson, was quite a drastic change.
I did tell the men and the queens that I’d first seen the film the Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert when I was in high school. I did not tell them I also staged a show of my own – Hot to Plot, the Muscial! – which also utilized “I Will Survive” around the same time.
