Posted: 4/29/04 at 3:54pmAccording to Broadway.com, Dame Edna will return to Broadway in November with a new show. Dame will play the Broadhurst Theater. I saw Dame on her last go 'round and had a fun time at her show. Wave your gladiolas!

Posted: 4/29/04 at 4:05pmI haven't read her book, yet. I'll have to look for it. Dame (Barry Humphries) had most of the audience rolling on the floor when I saw her last. "Hello, possums"! Did you realize that the character of Dame Edna has been around since the 50s??!! Barry Humphries created the character of Mrs. Norm Everage, a Melbourne, Australia housewife in 1955 - and she subsequently evolved into the international superstar we know and love today!

The Royal Tour had to be the funniest one woman show i have ever seen (except for Forbidden Broadway it was the funniest show i have ever seen)

Posted: 4/29/04 at 5:53pmThe one true original dame is coming back! excellent. It better be brand new material. Because as off 6 weeks ago her show here in California was the exact same thing she did in NY a few years back. The Gladiolas, the friend of Kenny routine, the lesbian daughter, the bringing two people from the audience on stage and getting them a meal. The calling someones babysitter, the video montage at the begining... all the same. So I am hoping that what I saw was just a last hurrah for the old stuff.

Posted: 4/29/04 at 6:31pmAbsolutely the funniest thing I've ever seen on stage! I'm so glad she's coming back. Last time, I saw it from the front row. She passed me a gladiolus and ordered me to stand and thrust it. A f-ing hysterical show.

Posted: 4/30/04 at 12:25amI saw her Fall 2003 in Dallas. She was hilarious. I'm glad I will be in New York to see her again.
