Priscilla Queen of the Desert

Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Musical - Toronto & NYC

Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Musical, an awarding-winning stage adaptation of the popular cult movie, brings Traxon & e:cue’ s complete LED system solutions to center stage. The most colorful character in the production, Priscilla is a pink, life-sized bus that transports three friends on an exciting adventure through the Australian outback. Covered with 219 custom Traxon String RGB systems, Priscilla glows, dressed in over 35,000 pixels of LED illumination. And behind the bus, an additional 44 custom String RGB systems are woven together, creating an automated flitter drop. Eleven e:cue Video Micro Converters (VMCs) paired with the Lighting Application Suite (LAS) 5.2, control the 126,240 e:pix channels, displaying two-dimensional video on a three-dimensional object.

Priscilla made its North American debut in Toronto in October, and is slated to open on Broadway in Spring 2011.
