Apparently it's premiering on stage like tomorrow (in Australia, obviously). Was trying to determine what I thought about this, when I additionally happened to notice that Brian Thomson is the set designer. He was the production designer for both Rocky Horror and Shock Treatment, if you never paid much attention to the credits.

Was looking at some more articles about the opening and such:

http://www.news.com.au/sundaytelegraph/opinion/story/0,,20536142-5001031,00.html

My favorite tidbit is that the budget of the stage musical is THREE TIMES the budget of the original movie. The bus prop alone cost a cool million. I mean... dude. Just... dude!

I also liked writer/director Stephan Elliott's confession that "Priscilla just never stops. I hear 'I Will Survive' and I just want to scream." Sounds almost Rocky Horror-ish. ;)
