Game, set, match! The stars of the hit Broadway musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert welcomed a very special guest to the January 8 performance: tennis superstar and LGBT icon Billie Jean King! The champ, who was the first out professional female athlete, enjoyed the colorful show at the Palace Theatre, then stopped backstage to show the cast some of her best moves. Take a look as the Priscilla company trades heels and headdresses for tennis rackets with Billie Jean King.
