So if you haven't seen the show, this is your chance.
Here's how to win.
As I'm sure you know, Priscilla is the story of three drag performers from Australia who make a trek into the outback (and I'm not talking about the steakhouse) . . . and then hilarity ensues.
In this week's giveaway, we're going to play the musical version of "Make Up Your Drag Name", but instead of taking the name of the street you grew up on and adding it to your middle name, I want you to take the name of a musical, and add it to the name of a character in that musical.
Make sense?
For example, "West Side Anita" or "Les Cosette".
Get it? Funniest one wins. Comment below or emailers click here.
Drag away!

(Li-Li Wi is a character from the Rogers and Hart musical of 1928, Chee-Chee)
The show ran for two weeks on Broadway and the name is obscure, a little bit inappropriate, and it rhymes. The quintessential elements of any good drag name.
Plus, it would go well with a boa and big hair.

TAXI’S!!! Now here’s a way to put an intern to work. Hire a bunch of interns, have them get their hack licenses, become ambassadors for the Broadway community (and especially your show) and take home whatever money they make in the process. Win-win! You would need a team so everyone wouldn’t have to ONLY drive a cab. Everyone could go in shifts. A full shift of driving earns about 2-300 bucks.

I’D BE HAPPY TO CONDUCT A CLASS FOR CABBIES ON HOW TO PRONOUNCE NAMES LIKE ‘CHINGLISH’, ‘MEMPHIS’, ‘HOW TO SUCCEED’, BERNARD JACOBS THEATRE AND THE REST. EXCELLENT THOUGHT, KEN — THE CABBIES ARE INDEED WALKING AMBASSADORS AND WHEN ‘SHINE!’ OPENS I’M GOING TO DISPERSE 45,000 SHINE BOXES AND GIVE THESE GUYS A COPY OF THE RECORDING OF THE TITLE TUNE. YOU’RE SO RIGHT — MANY A TOURIST MUST ASK:
‘WHAT ‘S A GOOD SHOW/’? AND THESE GENTS COULD BE A BIG HELP INSTEAD OF CHATTING WITH THEIR WIVES, BOY AND GIRL FRIENDS, IN SOME LANGUAGE THAT LEAVES US ALONE AND LONELY IN THE BACK SEAT. RICHARD SEFF

Perhaps some Emily Post or Miss Manners? Throw in some restriction on cell phone use…? Or simply remove the obligation of The Tip unless earned? (BTB: I work in the “Service Industry”…and know a hawk from a handsaw:)
Below is lifted from Wikipedia:
Driver qualificationIn London, hackney-carriage drivers have to pass a test called The Knowledge to demonstrate that they have an intimate knowledge of the geography of London streets, important buildings etc. There are two types of badge, a yellow one for the suburban areas and a green one for all of London. The latter is considered far more difficult. Drivers who own their cabs as opposed to renting from a garage are, for obscure reasons, known as ‘mushers’ and those who have just passed the “knowledge” are known as ‘butter boys’. There are currently around 21,000 black cabs in London, licensed by the Public Carriage Office.[11]. Until recently there was a requirement that drivers must normally convey a hiring up to six miles (10 km) from Charing Cross. This was historically the furthest distance that a horse could be expected to travel. The requirement has now been amended to twelve miles.
