New Show for Dame Edna
Following the national success of her previousd award-winning shows, "A Royal Tour" and "A Night with Dame Edna", including a triumph in the discerning and hard-to-please Midwest, the international housewife, megastar and guru, Dame Edna is crafting her latest, exciting entertainment strategies on her private estate in her native Australia this winter.
Set for a world premiere at the historic Curran Theater in San Francisco in August, "Back with a Vengeance" will display her unique genius in an all-new environment.
Dame Edna says of San Francisco "This is where it all started for me Possums. This is where America first fell in love with me. And the love affair goes on; deeper and stronger!
"I’ll always be there for you possums. And if I’m not there exactly, I’ll be at the Curran, my home away from home in the city by the Bay.
Dame Edna said today "I don’t do shows, I make history. In a spooky way I am theater in the making. My shows are not shows at all, they are Events which you can proudly tell your grandchildren you witnessed. You can even bring your grandchildren, within reason, for mine is a family show, a new, cutting-edge, in-your-face family extravaganza. I’ll always be there for you possums, be there for me."
After a short season at the Curran the show will move to Broadway, at the Broadhurst Theater in November. |
