A Broadway Makeover for 'Priscilla' Queens

IN the London production of the musical "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," the first character who commands the stage is a minor one, a drag queen named Miss Understanding who trades in risqué repartee.

"I'm so excited, I've had to use gaffer tape to contain myself," she says, then mimes ripping tape off her groin. "Ow! I love a good Brazilian. Any out there?"

Those jokes are gone from the new Broadway version of "Priscilla," which is in previews at the Palace Theater.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
