The widely loved international homemaker, talk show host, gigastar, fashion icon, swami and most-sought-after friend of the rich, famous and royal - the incomparable Dame Edna - is making a welcomed return to the Ahmanson Theatre for two weeks only, June 9 through 21, 2009.
In this show,' said Dame Edna, 'you will see me up close and personal, Possums, perhaps for the last time! Close enough to see my beauty and personal enough to feel my love, and even, in some cases, my reluctant disapproval. I'm sharing and caring with those who need it most - YOU, my adoring audiences.
For more than four decades Dame Edna has dazzled audiences the world over with her one-of-a-kind banter, infinite wisdom and fabulous beauty tips. She won a 2000 Special Tony Award for a Live Theatrical Event for her Broadway debut in Dame Edna: The Royal Tour , which also won a Drama Desk Award and an Outer Critics Circle Special Achievement Award. She subsequently received a 2005 Tony Award nomination for Dame Edna: Back with a Vengeance! , which played at the Ahmanson in the 2005-2006 season. Created by Australian actor, author, painter, composer and racing car driver Barry Humphries, Dame Edna is a national icon in her native Australia.
