Dame Edna in Talks with Christopher Durang; 'Feud' with Feinstein Continues with New Statement

While theatre insiders are speculating quite heavily that this current "feud" between Michael Feinstein and Dame Edna is just a hoax and that the two will soon announce that they'll be performing together, it's now Dame Edna's turn to release a new statement...

Dame Edna EVERAGE is proud to announce that she is in negotiations with Obie Award winning playwright Christopher Durang to help write her upcoming Broadway extravaganza IT'S ALL ABOUT ME.

And, on a note of a different color, she wishes to respond to Michael Feinstein's comment to the press from earlier today:

"Someone purchased a CD of Mr. Feinstein's at a flea market in Australia and re-gifted it to me recently. I'm impressed at how often he sings on key."

-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.

It's All About Me will be produced by Robert G. Bartner and the Ambassador Theatre Group.
