DAME EDNA MY FIRST LAST TOUR Plays 6/10-6/21 At Ahmanson Theatre
"Dame Edna: My First Last Tour" opens Wednesday, June 10 at 8 p.m. at the Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre in downtown Los Angeles at the Music Center, and will play for two weeks only through June 21.
Dame Edna, the widely loved international homemaker, talk show host, gigastar, fashion icon, guru, swami and most-sought-after friend of the rich, famous and royal, is making a welcome return to the Ahmanson where she played in "Dame Edna: Back with a Vengeance!" for two raucous weeks in the spring of 2006.
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. Said Ben Brantley in The New York Times, "Genius. Hasten to the theatre and sit at the feet of a star. What bliss."
Created by Australian actor, author, painter, composer and racing car driver Barry Humphries, Dame Edna is a national icon in her native Australia.
