MUSICAL theatre star Tony Sheldon is set to kick up his platform heels on Broadway in the role of Bernadette in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert when the Australian musical opens there next March.

Sheldon owned the role of the older transgender character when the stage version of Stephan Elliott's hit film opened in Sydney in 2005.

Sheldon's mother, stage veteran Toni Lamond, confirms Sheldon will open Priscilla on Broadway, most likely at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on West 46th Street.
