Feeling Octoberish? Cold weather getting you down? Nothing to look forward to except the clocks going back and long dark days?

Grab a feather boa, get on a train to London and head for Priscilla Queen of the Desert. You may be feeling sluggish going in - I certainly was at the end of a very long week at work - but two songs later the cobwebs were blown soundly off me. I couldn't figure out why my jaws were aching, then I realised it was becasue they were stretched in a permanent smile. This is high energy, high comedy, high spectacle and high on good feeling.

Don Gallagher, Richard Grieve and Oliver Thornton play a blinder as the three transvestites who cross the Australian outback in a silver bus called Priscilla, but the story is pretty irrelevant really, apart from providing a little tearjerker family reunion at the end. Cast-wise the other big news is the return of Ray Meagher to the show - you may also know him as Home and Away's Alf Stewart, a role he has played for 24 years.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert is all about fun, flamboyance and adrenalin-infused songs like 'Downtown', 'Venus', 'Go West' and 'Hot Stuff'. It's a riot of colour explosion and over-the-top costumes (everyone dressed as fairy cakes is my own particular favourite), it has sequins and saucy humour by the bucket-load, is played out to gales of laughter from the auditorium and is so feel good you'll want to return for a regular fix. 'The second time is even better than the first', the woman behind me shouted to her companion during the dance-along standing ovation. 'I just want to keep coming back,' was the answer.
