Dame Edna: Back with a Vengeance!

April 6th, 2006
Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles
One Woman Show, went with Troy & Clark

Dame Edna Everage, Gigastar, delivers again, but this time she's back with a vengeance! With her rapier wit and quick-on-her-feet delivery, you'd never know she was 72. As usual, she makes sport of anyone in the first 5 rows with hilarious results. This is the 3rd time we've seen Dame Edna live (once in her 1st Bway show, and then when that show traveled), and it was worth the 3rd outing.

This is not her best show. But if you appreciate a certain British (even tho she's Australian) wit and style, and if she comes to your city, go with an open mind. It's live and a lot depends on the audience as well. But regardless, there's no one like her. It's a surprising evening full of accessible humor and you'll laugh til your cheeks hurt.
