Priscilla in Truro

When I noticed that Priscilla -  Queen of the Desert was coming to Hall for Cornwall in Truro I immediately contacted Jamie and asked if they wanted to come down for it.  It was a big yes from him and their friend Mark would like to join us as well.  Tickets were booked early so that I could get the second row in the middle and then it was a case of waiting and counting the days.  I bought myself a pink feather boa from eBay – well you can’t go to Priscilla without a feather boa!!

The boys drove down overnight and arrived in the early hours.  We had a lazy morning and then set off for the Park and Ride.

We arrived with time to spare so had a wander and shop in Truro then made our way to the theatre.  The boys had a drink to get in the mood …

then we found our seats and waited for the main event …

WOW!!!  What a fab show!  If it ever comes your way then book seats because it’s worth every penny.  We had Pimms ordered for interval drinks …

and then it was back for more singing and clapping.  We even managed to get an encore out of them!!

We’d gone to the Matinee performance and so the cast had an hour to kill before getting ready for the evening one.  We waited outside the Stage Door and managed to get loads of autographs.  We even had our photo taken with Noel Sullivan who was playing the lead role of Tick …

We finally dragged ourselves away and got the Park and Ride back to the car.  It had been an afternoon I’ll never forget but I took a photo of all the mementoes …
