Australia’s most honored, beloved, (and Tony-winning) housewife, DAME EDNA EVERAGE, will open her new Broadway extravaganza IT’S ALL ABOUT ME on TUESDAY, MARCH 23rd, with previews beginning on SATURDAY, MARCH 6th at a Shubert Organization theater.

Regarding Michael Feinstein’s show of a similar name, Dame Edna wishes to convey the following to her public:

“It’s All About Me” is my title. While I was saddened to hear that Mr. Feinstein did not heed my sage advice to change the title of his show, I’m overjoyed to hear that he at least took my suggestion to open his show after mine. I’m sure Mrs. Feinstein is very proud of her son.”

-Dame Edna Everage

This is Dame Edna’s third return to Broadway, following her smash hit (and Tony & Drama Desk Award-winning) Dame Edna: The Royal Tour in 1999, and 2004’s Tony Nominated Dame Edna: Back with a Vengeance.

Dame Edna: It’s All About Me will be directed by four time Tony award winner JERRY ZAKS, who most recently directed Chazz Palminteri’s hit solo Broadway show A Bronx Tale.
