Expected so much more, and the conversational part was great, but the singing, the daughter stuff, and the glads were something we just waited to be over...

I have only ever seen Dame Edna on talk shows, so I have to admit I didn't really know what her shows would be like, but I have to say I was disappointed. I found myself checking my watch constantly and I couldn't wait for it to end.

Dame Edna is so unforgettable. You totally get sucked in, I find myself thinking, I know this is a man playing a woman, a creation of an extremely witty and funny man, but I REALLY believe. It is like a child who believes in Santa. I love Dame Edna! And oh the things she says, so very un-pc, and so hysterical. Only a created being could say what she says and get by with it. The interaction with the audience had me dying with laughter.

Dame Edna still has wonderfully biting wit wrapped in a mother bear's hug. Sadly it seems the first last tour may be the final exodus tour, so I'm glad I got to see her. The character of her daughter fell a little flat, but Edna herself was vivacious...I was glad to be a possum in the audience.

Once again, Dame Edna not only entertained but showed why she is a Friend of the Famous, Adviser to Queens and Princes. The show was just wonderful. This show added a wonderful multi-media facet that provided a delightful overview of Dame Edna's body of work. And the bit at the end, well, I will not give it away, but it brought me to tears.
Brava Dame Edna. Bravo BH.

It was the same old Dame Edna. Same old skits. No new material with the exception of Valmay which was just an attempt to cover a costume change instead of a longer show with an intermission. I have seen him/her in New York and Washington, DC in years past and it was much better. It started late and didn't last more than 1 1/2 hours. Very dissapointed.

Dear Dame Edna could not have chosen a more perfect onstage partner than me!
She was a delight from start to finish -- clever in her choice of words and in the way she gathered in the entire audience -- from the last row of the balcony to the front row of the orchestra.
I would see her and her show again -- and again -- and again. Please do the same!
How sweet was the fact that our colors matched! <wink> My husband would have loved llaughing at both Dame Edna and me.

Dame Edna is simply hilarious! I laughed so hard and loud that I was afraid I would offend my fellow theatre goers - until I realized that they were laughing just as loud! We also had the pleasure to meet Dame Edna's counterpart after the show - and he was so friendly and gracious! A great time was had by all. Long live Dame Edna!

Dame Edna has been making us roll on the floor laughing for many years. Her live show was no exception! She has an incredible way of making fun of audience members, but with that Australian accent that makes the digs seem polite, almost nurturing in a way. You never know what to expect from Dame Edna, except having a lot of fun and feeling good when you leave.

We have heard of Dame Edna for many years, so when we saw she was coming to San Diego, we thought it might be fun to see... we were actually expecting what we figured would be a campy drag show... but to our surprise, Dame Edna was very funny, topical, and very witty...
We had a great time... and to be honest, much more so than we were expecting... it was well worth going...

The glamor! The intensity! The insensitivity! All wrapped in that wonderous package called Dame Edna. She never ages, she just upstages and engages. With her keen insight into human nature, the Goddess of Lavendar reduces the audience to tears...of laughter. Rock on, you marvelous Purple Possum! She tells it like it is, like it was, and like it shall be. Were that my own mother were as dynamic and irrepressable.
