Will Swenson to Join Priscilla in Toronto

Will Swenson, Tony-nominated star of last year's revival of Hair, is set to join the cast of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in its pre-Broadway run in Toronto.  The production, which will be directed by Simon Phillips, is set to begin performances in mid-October and will run there for 12 weeks before coming stateside in a yet-to-be-named Broadway house.  That means it looks like the lavender tour bus may be onstage as early as mid February!
