Show Information
Dame Edna Everage is probably the most popular and gifted woman in the world today.
The widely-loved international home-maker, talk show host, gigastar, fashion icon, swami and most sought-after friend to the rich, famous and royal, is making a return to the United States with what she describes as her “First Last Tour.”
“In this show you will see me up close and personal Possums, perhaps for the last time! Close enough to see my beauty and personal enough to feel my love, and even, in some cases, my reluctant disapproval. I’m sharing and caring with those who need it the most – YOU, my adoring audiences.”
Edna’s stage success is unparalleled. She won a Tony Award for her Broadway show “The Royal Tour” in 2000, and a Tony Nomination for “Back with a Vengeance” in 2005. Whether touring in her native Australia or in her beloved United States - “America is the best kept secret in the world, Possums” – she gives and gives and gives. Never have Americans needed to laugh, cry and give standing ovations as much as they do today. Her compassion is legendary, and her stage offerings possess a unique “edge”, due to the fact that she doesn’t need the money. Dame Edna’s inspiring publications have been placed in the nightstands of hotel rooms across the world.
This is to be a “First Last Tour” because Dame Edna has decided to devote more quality time to her seriously dysfunctional family. The jewels she will be wearing, her famous face furniture and her glorious gowns are all made from organic materials and very few animals have been significantly hurt in their making.
Civic Theatre, San Diego. 
Running time: 90 minutes
RATING: Dame Everage can get a bit naughty. Adult content.

Dame Edna' is ribald, hilarious in San Diego tour stop
By Randy Dotinga - For the North County Times | Wednesday, June 3, 2009 9:09 AM
The gams? Still shapely. The hair? Mauve-tastic, as always. And the voice? Well ... um ... Did I mention her great legs? At an age when ladies of her class keep themselves busy by ordering around the help, Dame Edna Everage is entertaining the world. As an appreciative San Diego Civic Theatre audience learned on Tuesday night, she hasn't lost a bit of her bark, her bite or her bouffant.

NORTH COUNTY TIMES FEATURE
By RANDY DOTINGA - For the North County Times
Dame Edna: fashion icon, beloved megastar, inspiration to billions. Wait, you haven't heard of her? My poor dear, clearly you've been in a cave for the past several decades. There's simply no other explanation, other than a rather lengthy coma.
During her remarkable career, Dame Edna Everage has performed for queens, both the monarch ensconced in Buckingham Palace and the non-royal varieties who are among her biggest fans. She's traded bon mots with the likes of Jay Leno, Sean Connery and Charlton Heston. And she's held court for countless eager fans. Read more...

Dame Edna Everage
Gay & Lesbian Times, 2009
This statement serves as subtext to the subversive dynamic of Barry Humphries’s character Dame Edna Everage. The Lady has her plan. For the uninitiated, Dame Edna is hardly a drag queen. She drags us through political commentary and social tyranny when we become her “guests” for an evening. Edna Everage is a Melbourne housewife who aspired to super stardom, succeeded, and bestowed with the royal nod. Her royal self appears at the Civic Theatre in her “First Last Tour.”
