The Grand Dame
Who hasn't heard of Dame Edna? Who would have ever thought that cross dressing, putting on a purple wig and speaking in an irritatingly high voice could be a recipe for success?
Whatever it takes to get you to go see "Dame Edna - Back with a Vengeance", do it.
I just saw the show at the National Theater in D.C. (John Wilkes Booth cased the joint when he was 'hunting' Lincoln and ended up shooting him at Ford's Theater just around the block). Whatever Dame Edna is good at - he/she is amazing at making a roaringly funny evening out of whatever is there in the audience.
I won't spoil any of the bits in the show, but the Dame truly works with what she has, like a standup comic and for 2 hours made us laugh, smile, scream and finally .. sing.
When she comes to your town, buy a ticket, as soon as they go on sale.
