Dame Edna: Back With a Vengeance
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
The popular and charismatic cross-dressing comedian returns to Broadway with another evening of slapstick and slapdash verbal attacks on the audience.
Closing Date at the Music Box: May 1, 2005
The gifted and gladiola-bearing Edna returns to the main stem with another of her modest spectacles. Be warned, if you sit in the first few rows, you may get singled out for a special zinger - and she's not known for pulling punches. In the great old British theatrical tradition of a good-humored nondescript fellow of a certain age donning a dress and hamming it up as a character five times as outlandish as your most egregiously outgoing aunt, he lights into the clothing choices, hairstyles, and presumptive zip codes of audience members in the first few rows. (Most often, the targets are female.)
To keep up the appearance of actual theatre, Edna closes out the evening with a scripted drama played out using selected audience members. (Again, the Dame’s limited eyesight mostly limits the interaction to the first five or six rows.) Much more La-dee-da than it is La Cage, the tenor of the evening will be instantly familiar to those familiar with British pantos – the broadly approachable and good-humored evenings of light camp and treacly sweetness that are so popular across the pond.
Mature audiences.
