Australia’s Dame Edna Bids Fans a Glorious Goodbye on Farewell Tour
Ahmanson Theatre (Los Angeles, CA)
Of all the great female stars to emerge from Australia — Olivia-Newton John, Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman — none can hold a candle to the rhinestone-studded awesomeness of Dame Edna Everage, the planet’s reigning (and only) “gigastar.” The widely-loved neon-haired homemaker, talk show host, fashion icon, swami and sought-after friend, has for more than four decades, dazzled audiences the world over with her one-of-a-kind banter, infinite wisdom and fabulous beauty tips. Now, in a side-splitting, historic finale, Dame Edna (Barry Humphries) is capping her spectacular 50-year career with this celebratory show that finds her surrounded by spectacular sets and gorgeous, talented dancers. With her take-no-prisoners comedy and hijinks, Dame Edna is not going out with a whimper and no one is safe from her wicked-sharp tongue.
