DAME EDNA’s

IT’S ALL ABOUT ME

to open

MARCH 23rd, 2010

Australia’s most honored, beloved, (and Tony-winning) housewife, DAME EDNA EVERAGE, will open her new Broadway extravaganza IT’S ALL ABOUT ME on TUESDAY, MARCH 23rd, with previews beginning on SATURDAY, MARCH 6th at a Shubert Organization theater.

Regarding Michael Feinstein’s show of a similar name, Dame Edna wishes to convey the following to her public:

“It’s All About Me” is my title. While I was saddened to hear that Mr. Feinstein did not heed my sage advice to change the title of his show, I’m overjoyed to hear that he at least took my suggestion to open his show after mine. I’m sure Mrs. Feinstein is very proud of her son.” -Dame Edna Everage

This is Dame Edna’s third return to Broadway, following her smash hit (and Tony & Drama Desk Award-winning) Dame Edna: The Royal Tour in 1999, and 2004’s Tony Nominated Dame Edna: Back with a Vengeance.

Dame Edna: It’s All About Me will be directed by four time Tony award winner JERRY ZAKS, who most recently directed Chazz Palminteri’s hit solo Broadway show A Bronx Tale.

DAME EDNA EVERAGE

Dame Edna Everage, housewife, megastar, investigative journalist, social anthropologist, children’s book illustrator, diseuse, chanteuse, swami, monstre sacré, polymath, adviser to British royalty, grief counsellor, spin doctor and icon is, arguably, the most popular and gifted woman in the world today.

Her career began in Melbourne, Australia in 1956 (see her best selling autobiography My Gorgeous Life - published in England by Macmillan and in the United States by Simon & Schuster) and though in the Fifties when her journey as a performing artiste began she had a strictly cult following.
