Photo Flash: Dame Edna Performer Barry Humphries Celebrates Birthday at CTG/Ahmanson Theatre
"Dame Edna's Glorious Goodbye -- The Farewell Tour" opened on Wednesday, January 28 at CTG's Ahmanson Theatre. The production continues through March 15, 2015 before heading out across the U.S. Last night, Feb. 17, creator and performer Barry Humphries celebrated his birthday onstage. Check out photos below!
The title role of Dame Edna Everage is played by Barry Humphries with an ensemble that includes Ralph Coppola,Brooke Pascoe, Eve Prideaux and Armando Yearwood, Jr. The production is directed by Simon Phillips with Jonathan Tessero serving as musical director and onstage accompanist and Andrew Rossserving as the musical supervisor.
In a side-splitting, historic finale, Barry Humphries, with his beloved creation -- Dame Edna Everage, is capping a spectacular career spanning 50 years of bravura showmanship in this farewell to celebratory, sold-out performances across the world. Surrounded by spectacular sets and gorgeous, talented dancers, Dame Edna keeps her audience enthralled and 'in stitches' with her sparkling wit, mischievous wisdom and razor-sharp banter. With her take-no-prisoners comedy and hijinks, Dame Edna is not going out with a whimper: No one is safe from the Dame's wicked tongue.
