The Republic of Telly regular is delighted to be joining the cast, saying, “I grew up in the acting world as my Mam has her own theatre company – so it’s always been a dream to end up on stage. A lot of people don’t realise that I’m acting in Republic of Telly and think I’m just a wagon so it’s just an honour to have been selected for this role.”

Jennifer admits that although she is excited, she is nervous about her stage debut. “I’m absolutely terrified obviously! I’m a massive fan of my co-star Jason Donovan as is any child of the ‘80’s, I watched Neighbours religiously and dreamed of being Charlene to his Scott, so I just can’t believe that I’m going to play his wife all these years later. Priscilla Queen of the Desert is one of my all-time favourite shows and I just can’t wait to get started”

Tickets for Priscilla Queen Of The Desert are available now through Ticketmaster, and are priced from €20.00.
