According 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!

I 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 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.

Ohhhh I hope its new material

Last time I laughed so hard, I actually slipped out of my seat & hit the floor, thats no joke

And I wasnt even drunk

Just laughing my azz off

Absolutely 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.

Hope it is new but if not it still will make me happy.
Dame Edna is divine.

I saw her Fall 2003 in Dallas. She was hilarious. I'm glad I will be in New York to see her again.

SHe fell in Dallas? Did she slip? Or did she fall on her face?
