Nick Adams cast as a lead in Broadway bound production of musical “Priscilla Queen of the Desert”
So excited for Nick Adams.
The muscular openly gay actor who came to fame as Mario Lopez’s co-star in A Chorus Line of Broadway a few years back will be headlining on Broadway in the role of Felicia/Adam in Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
The musical will make its North American debut for a 12 week run in Ontario beginning October 12, with plans for a spring 2011 Broadway transfer. Adams will join previously announced stars Will Swenson as Tick and Tony Sheldon as Bernadette in the leading roles.
The show was written by Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott and had its world premiere in Australia in 2006.
Nick, 27, is currently on Broadway in the Tony winning revival of La Cage aux Folles as Cagelle Angelique and has also appeared in Broadway productions of Guys and Dolls and The Pirate Queen.
His last day in La Cage is August 8. Rehearsals are currently being held to find his replacement.
It was during the run of A Chorus Line that Nick came to fame because when Mario Lopez joined the show as the star, Nick was forced to cover up his very buff body in order to not upstage Mario’s buffness. Nick was very diplomatic about the whole thing and his classiness earned him many more fans – including me!

I saw this shown in London last fall and it was awesome. I hope it’s a huge hit on Broadway. Nick is well cast for this part. Guy Pearce played this part in the movie.
Randy says:
Good luck Nick…you’ve got the best part.
When it opens I will put it on my site.

Wasn’t the guy who played “Tony” in the current West Side Story B’dwy production slated to be in this show? What happened?
Mike says:
This should be great, this is one of my favorite all time movies and hopefully it will a long run on Broadway!
