Extractions: Dame Edna Tampa, Fla. - DAME EDNA, the most talented and adored Australian, has announced her plans to return for a short theatrical tour, A NIGHT WITH DAME EDNA, opening in Miami, Florida, Sept. 10, 2002. The international superstar will premiere in Tampa at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center for a limited engagement, playing Sept. 17 - 22. Fresh from her critically acclaimed season with her little pupil on FOX-TV's Ally McBeal, DAME EDNA will again tour her very special evening on caring and sharing. "I have fallen in love with America and it adores me back. People go into withdrawal whenever I am off their TV screen or the stage of their theater. "I have insisted on coming to see you possums and put much needed 'Vitamin E,' E is for Edna, into your entertainment diet. You need me more than you think! And spookily enough I need you! I've missed you, possums. Don't miss me!" A NIGHT WITH DAME EDNA follows her wildly successful 2001 tour, DAME EDNA: The Royal Tour, which received a special Tony Award for a Live Theatrical Event, as well as a Drama Desk Award and an Outer Critics Circle Special Achievement Award. Additionally, audiences across America voted her their favorite touring performer and by popular vote, she was honored with a National Broadway Award.

A CurtainUp Review dame edna The Royal Tour. I've got diplomatic immunity tosay what I like even the truth dame edna Everage aka Barry Humphries.
http://www.curtainup.com/dameedna.html

Extractions: Dame Edna Everage a.k.a. Barry Humphries Everything about this royal tour has been geared towards taking the stuffiness out of royalty and fame, and buffing the glitter to a rhinestone and sequin studded gloss. The svelte, glamorous royal visitor, Dame Edna Everage, is not a lady (or, gentleman, to give credit to the wizard behind this drag queen's throne, an actor-writer, married man and father of four, Barry Humphries) inclined to keep a stiff upper lip. If it's on her lung , it's on her tongue, and the more politically incorrect the better. Since much of Dame Edna's fame has been spread via television, the evening begins with a brief roll take summarizing her transformation from plainclothed Australian housewife to international celebrity whose gowns would make Liberace smile in his grave. When the royal curtain rises Dame Edna's entrance is very grand indeed a head-to-toe vision in mauve pink she sashays down a circular staircase that's an architectural blend of the

Extractions: Barry Humphries, in the persona of Dame Edna, has brought his comedy across the pond to conquer Broadway, causing at least one serious addiction. NEW YORK My name is Christine. I am a Dame Edna-holic. Please help me. I feel better already. Admitting your problem is the first step toward conquering it, though I didn't even realize I was in trouble until this afternoon, on an E train bound for an eye examination in Queens. I was thinking I'd be headed back to Manhattan by 5 p.m., plenty of time to stop at the Booth Theater to get a single ticket for tonight's performance of the Broadway show Dame Edna: The Royal Tour. I would pay cash; that way there would be no paper trail. That was when I knew I had a problem.

Extractions: Dame Edna On May 3, Floridian published a confessional article by New York singer-songwriter Christine Lavin. Headlined " Stop me before I Edna again, " it began: "My name is Christine. I am a Dame Edna-holic. Please help me." Lavin a folk singer known for such songs as The Kind of Love You Never Recover From admitted she is addicted to the Broadway show Dame Edna: The Royal Tour. Edna, played by Australian actor Barry Humphries, is a self-absorbed diva who sings hilarious songs and makes outrageous off-the-cuff remarks from center stage. "I am still able to breastfeed," the character once said. "I only mention this fact in case we are ever stuck in an elevator together. You will be able to survive." When the story ran, Lavin had seen the show 19 times. She has seen it twice since.

Well, well, possums. Such discordant chatter. Humphries dismissed the troubles as he talked about his upcoming shows in Minneapolis, beginning Tuesday at at the State Theatre. Q. Do you recall your last time in Minneapolis? A. Q. The Dame seemed to get into some dustup at the Sculpture Garden, sitting on the giant spoon, yes? A.

My ultimate aim was to visit you , but let's face it Possums, I'm human, and schlepping around America with all those heavy gold statuettes I keep winning slowed me down.

Extractions: After more than 40 years, Dame Edna still loves making a Spec-tacle of herself Click to Enlarge Reviewed by Show Biz Maven Click on the thumbnail images to display an enlargement. Look up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Well, yes and no. It's DAME EDNA circling the globe in her Air Edna helicopter, and waving back madly to Queen Elizabeth II, President Clinton, and the Pope. Now it's the Bay Area's turn to salute the wacky but wonderful dame as she kicks off "The Royal Tour" at that quaint habitue in San Francisco called the Theatre On The Square. Of course, Dame Edna Everage is really Australian writer and creator Barry Humphries, but as Joe E. Brown said to Jack Lemmon in SOME LIKE IT HOT, "Nobody's perfect." "I'M REAL!" Dame Edna trills as she sashays around the Kenneth Foy set that has a twinge of faux Las Vegas. She waves her trademark gladiolas and smiles like the housewife she is. Maybe that's why we hardly notice the pianist, the popular Billy Philadelphia, who seems superfluous once the energetic star begins to assault our funny bones. Add her larger than life glasses skittering with rhinestones, and there's Dame Edna making a spec-tacle of herself.

Extractions: Corrections or additions? J anet Reno wants me to do a makeover. She wants me to bring out her hidden femininity," says Dame Edna, in a manner so candid and with such sincerity it could serve as a lesson in misplaced diplomacy. Yet it was not a major celebrity, but rather a Princeton couple in 10th row center aisle seats that bore the brunt of many of Dame Edna's scabrous barbs on the night that I attended "Dame Edna: The Royal Tour." Among the other good sports, they surely knew what they were in for, if only from having seen Dame Edna on TV. After just a few more of Dame Edna's intentionally nosy inquiries into the affairs of others in various locations in the house, it was evident that people had come from far and wide to be in the presence of this endearingly egotistical self-made "superstar." Notwithstanding her illusions of being an investigative journalist, chanteuse, swami, adviser to British royalty, grief counselor, spin-doctor, and icon, Dame Edna is to be seriously considered as a force for the millennium. How fulfilling it must feel to know you have become one of the growing numbers of the rich, the famous, but mostly less illustrious persons who have served as foils for Dame Edna's now almost legendary brand of mischievous mockery. Her self-satisfied pronouncements and denouncements in regard to those individual close-to-home targets, in particular, and her observations on society and propriety in general, leave no doubt that she is an informed social anthropologist and confirmed moralist of the first order. You will notice how important politicos and glamorous showbiz celebrities play second fiddle to the more agreeably and easily victimized at hand.
Dame Edna Plays With Her Fans

http://www.freep.com/entertainment/newsandreviews/edna22_20010322.htm

Extractions: FREE PRESS THEATER CRITIC It's not your usual preshow announcement: a British-accented male voice reminds patrons to kindly turn off their cell phones, their pagers ...and their pacemakers. That might not be the most salubrious advice, but if the laughter generated by "Dame Edna: The Royal Tour" doesn't get your heart going you may be beyond medical help. 'Dame Edna: The Royal Tour' 7:30 tonight, Music Hall 350 Madison, Detroit 2 hours, 20 minutes One suspects that the sober male announcer is Dame Edna's creator and portrayer, Australian actor and writer Barry Humphries, and that the sight of Mr. Humphries, dressed in the full Edna but speaking in his own voice, would itself be worth the price of admission. No matter. Dame Edna Everage, whose more than four decades of existence qualifies her as a classic comic creation, is ever herself, spreading cheer and whimsy on her "mission to the Michiganians," through Sunday at Music Hall. As her easy grasp of the term "Michiganians" suggests, Dame Edna has done her homework concerning the locale. When, for instance, she says she has tracked her long-lost wayward daughter to "a trailer in Taylor" she draws knowing laughs from her adoring "possums" (Edna-ese for "fans"). Dame Edna also has her suspicions about the folks who sell produce at Eastern Market; she alleges they buy their vegetables at Kroger's and then rub dirt on them for that distinctive organic look.

Extractions: Photo by Joan Marcus "It is no fun having mauve hair, not when you are a school kid. I always felt different from the other girls anyway, somehow brighter, more on the ball.... I was rebellious, yet far from naughty, prematurely intelligent, yet certainly no know-all. But the thing that set me apart most of all was my halo of bright wisteria curls.... "I was always tall–I was a tall baby–and my mauve mop naturally made other girls, whether black, mousy, blonde or ginger, green with envy. My only friend seemed to be [my kindergarten teacher] Miss Ely.... With a spooky premonition of the future, Miss Ely comforted me. ‘One day you will be proud of your height and your unusual hair,’ she said soothingly.... I later learned to be proud of the crowning gift Dame Nature had given me when, as a teenager, I first started to grow hair that I could sit on."

Dame Edna - The Royal Tour - A Theater Review
dame edna The Royal Tour . At the Booth Theatre. by Kelly Monaghan. Attention,Possums! dame edna Everage, Australia's First Lady, has arrived on Broadway.
http://www.intrepidtraveler.com/travels/edna.html

Extractions: What's Playing in New York... "Dame Edna: The Royal Tour" At the Booth Theatre by Kelly Monaghan Attention, Possums! Dame Edna Everage, Australia's First Lady, has arrived on Broadway. The time has come to dress to the nines and make the pilgrimage to 45th Street to prostrate yourself at her exquisitely-shod feet. For those who don't know, Dame Edna is the alter ego of Australian-born, London-based comedian Barry Humphries. Over the years he has elevated Edna from typical Australian housewife (Say "average" with an Australian accent) to a bespangled mega-star who hobnobs with royalty and dispenses wisdom and insight to her adoring fans Her current engagement on the Great White Way is a cheerfully chaotic mishmash of ad libbed encounters with the audience and off-the-wall set pieces on topics such as how to fool your aged parents into believing they've just taken a wonderfully expensive vacation. It's not quite a one-woman show there's a pianist and two longlegged chorines to assist in Edna's occasional outbursts of song but this show is all about Edna. And what makes Dame Edna so special? Why, simply being Dame Edna, of course. And that is largely Humphries' subversive point here. Dame Edna is all about our society's infatuation with celebrity and the self-effacing masochism with which we allow celebrities to live our lives for us. Dame Edna is sure that her possums, her pet term for the audience, want nothing more than to bring a slender ray of glamor into their otherwise miserable lives by basking for two hours or so in her reflected glory. And if that means being humiliated because they're sitting in the cheap seats or wearing frumpy clothes, so be it. Some of the funniest moments come from the glibly sadistic way in which Dame Edna, in the most "caring and nurturing way," points out how shabby various members of the audience are compared to her regal self.

This is John Lahr's best book."Richard Avedon DESCRIPTION (back to top) John Lahr is one of the most celebrated critics of the performing arts.
