Dame Judi Rules!

I know this is a Theater website but if you want to see a wonderful film about the Theater go see the delightful backstage musical-comedy MRS. HENDERSON PRESENTS with the luminous Judi Dench. This wondrous actress can simply do no wrong. She tosses off her witty comic lines with such seeming effortlessness and there are several poignant moments when she'll break your heart. To my fellow Theater lovers - Treat yourself. This is a gem. I've already seen it twice and will definitely buy the DVD as soon as it's released.

Couldn't agree more. I saw the movie a couple of weeks ago and she was fantastic. The film itself was a little weak though the backstage aspect of it was great. But Judi just made it all worth while.

"Oh you're American? Strange people but lovely manners"

Isn't Wayne Sleep the EmCee on that recording?

I assume the recording of Dame Judi as Sally Bowles is long deleted?

Dame Judi intends to do a play in the West End later in the year...who knows if it will come to Broadway.

by her own admission though, she can't sing, so it would have been a very interesting rendition, that's for sure.

Well, she was terrific in Night Music at the National!

Dame Judi for UK President!

I think I'm going to head down to B&N and pick up that recording. I think I have to have it. It's CABARET and it's got Dame Judi and Maria Friedman! Reason enough.
