Set
For production designer Brian Thomson, translating a road movie to the stage was mostly about one piece of highly technical equipment - Priscilla, the bus.
A centrepiece of the film, the stage bus became a custom built AUD$1 million star of the musical. Eight metres long and weighing almost six tonnes, she sits on a ring revolve, contains a retractable side wall panel and houses three internal hydraulic lifts.
She can also shake and change colour, thanks to hundreds of LED lights implanted in the panels.
