Former Emmerdale star to join cast of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Wednesday, 2 February 2011
It has been revealed that Richard Grieve is to join the cast of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert next month.
The actor, who Emmerdale fans will recognise as Jonny Foster, is to play Tick from March 7th 2011.
He will join Don Gallagher and Oliver Thornton in the flamboyant show at the Palace Theatre, with fellow soap star Bob Meagher to complete his stint shortly beforehand on March 5th.
It has not yet been revealed who will succeed Meagher as mechanic Bob.
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert recently extended its booking period until at least January 7th 2012 thanks to continuing popular demand for the show, which has been described by the Telegraph as "wildly entertaining".
Adapted from a 1994 movie of the same name, Priscilla tells the story of a drag queen who decides to take a road trip in a battered old bus to meet his estranged wife and the son he has never seen.
