Critical reception [edit]

In reviewing the West End production, the London Evening Standard (thisislondon) reviewer wrote: "From the first moments when iii divas hang suspended loftier above a silver-spangled bridge and belt out Downtown, the show never loses its spectacular, helter-skelter momentum of songs to which the drag queens lip-sync."[51]

Reviews for the Toronto product include praise for the costumes from the Earth and Mail: "The costumes designed by Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner, the same team that won an Oscar for the movie, are a fabulous mix of Hamlet People meet Tim Burton culminating in, at the pall telephone call, a whole crass menagerie of dragged-up koalas and 'roos." The Star favorably wrote: "This middle-popping, ear-pleasing, toe-tapping beloved of a testify moves like a cyclone from start to terminate and will go out you lot gasping for breath on numerous occasions, thank you to its spectacular spectacle, its raunchy humour and its virtuoso performances."[52]

Use of a recorded cord section in the Broadway production of Priscilla led to a dispute between producers and the American Federation of Musicians (AFM). The AFM argues that using recordings in place of live music is a marginal price-saving measure out which cheats audiences of the full, rich sound of a live orchestra. Producers argued that the artistic conception of the show requires a "constructed pop flavor" that tin can simply be achieved with recorded music. AFM member Scott Frankel, who equanimous the music for Grey Gardens, stated: "What is nigh special well-nigh seeing a Broadway musical, rather than some other art form, is the interaction between the orchestra musicians and the performers onstage".[53]
