I love that the producers are having fun with this, and I am actually kind of excited to see the show:
"Shubert Organization Chairman Philip J. Smith and President Robert E. Wankel have intervened in the ever growing public feud between Michael Feinstein's All About Me and Dame Edna: It's All About Me.
Said a Shubert Organization representative:
"Due to a shortage of theaters this spring, and two ridiculously (and oddly) similar titles that would ultimately be immensely confusing to the theater-going public, we have convinced both artists, in an entirely, completely, and totally unprecedented move, to join forces to create a joint endeavor simply titled ALL ABOUT ME."
"We love Michael and the Dame, and because we hold both artists in such high esteem, we are more than overjoyed that they have agreed to join forces in what we expect to be a singular and spectacular musical entertainment. Now it's on to who gets the bigger dressing room....""

David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Um, sorry but I'm going to be the one who says that I think this is crap. How are they going to incorporate a little cabaret show (which c'mon, would last 2 performances on a Broadway stage) with a spectacle like Dame Edna?

What theater do we think this is going to?

I'm super excited that Chris Durang is writing this. Always love to see something new and exciting from him.

Music Box.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Every realizes, of course, that this feud was completely manufactured, right?

PRS- I'm sure there are still some who want to believe it was fake. I just enjoyed the back and forth arguments. It was a fun form of PR.

I found the "feud" highly entertaining and great publicity. I'm actually really intrigued now about what kind of show these two performers would do together.

The way these two have been at each others throats the last few weeks, there is NO WAY this is going to actually open! DO you think there will be slap fights during rehearsals? I DO!

I doubt it, Joe. It'll be a bigger mess than the time Foster Brooks was appearing on a talk show and had the nerve to show up drunk!

Was anyone else completely not-privy-to said feud?

There was no feud. They were always planning on doing the show together. Great publicity stunt. Should make for a lot of fun moments as they play-act stealing the spotlight from each other.

At least it will be easy to tell the two apart - Dame Edna is the butch one.
