I adore Dame Edna to pieces.
However, I also tend to favor Marin Mazzie, Rebecca Luker, Carolee Carmello, and Victoria Clark.

Sutton Foster and Idina Menzel are NOT "Dames".
What are you guys on? Drugs?!!!
You'll do anything to slip those two names into a thread!
Ugh!
Okay, my rant is over.

Again, an actual Dame... HELEN MIRREN (with Maggie Smith a very, very close second).
And, of course, Donna Murphy.

Posted: 6/14/05 at 9:57amAfter seeing "Dessa Rose", my new favorite Broadway Dame is by far Rachel York. Although I'd seen her in "Victor/Victoria" and "Scarlet Pimpernel", her performance this season in DR impressed me more than any of the "best actress in a musical" Tony nominees. It was a shame the production upstairs at the Mitzi E. Newhouse was considered a legit Broadway tuner and the one playing downstairs was not thus making her ineligible for a nomination. I saw ALL the Tony nominees this year and admired Ms. York's performance the most. I am now a fan for life.

You really can't go wrong with Marian. Can't wait to see her tonight!
Rosemary Harris and Chita Rivera definitely deserve mention, too.
