Dame Edna

THE WIDELY LOVED INTERNATIONAL HOMEMAKER-TURNED GIGASTAR,

GRACES THE STAGE OF PARKER PLAYHOUSE IN HER "FIRST LAST TOUR"

MARCH 10 - 29, 2009

PRESENTED BY RRA Broadway Across America - FT. LAUDERDALE

AND FLORIDA THEATRICAL ASSOCIATION

Dame Edna Everage, 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." Dame Edna will grace the stage of Parker Playhouse Tuesday, March 10 through Sunday, March 29 presented by RRA Broadway Across America - Ft. Lauderdale and Florida Theatrical Association.

Edna 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.
