I just excitedly went to book for my upcoming LA trip in March and then saw Edna is actually a year away...

Never thought I'd get to see Ms. Tyson's Bountiful, thrilled we get one last show with Dame Edna and looking forward to both Cinderella and Matilda. Plus in the pre-season we get David Suchet in The Last Confession.

And, then we get Michael Urie in Buyer & Cellar and a new production of What The Butler Saw directed by Tony winner John Tilligner at the Mark Taper.

I think 2014-15 is shaping up to be quite the season in LA.

Dame Edna...

I would occasionally watch her "talk shows" that aired on PBS way back in the day, where she interviewed celebrities. I thought they were fun.

She came to San Francisco at the Post Street Theater (now SF Playhouse) about the same time. Must have been late '90s because I was living downtown then. A friend and I went. As I recall we wanted to leave less than half way through. I don't recall if she was just doing the same shtick as she did on her show and we'd already seen it, or if the continual skewering of audience members got old real quick. I know, you go to a DE show and that's what you get. But a little DE went a long way. Part of it too could have been it was a one "man" show (with a pianist). Her TV show had Madge, guests and other characters that added a little variety to the evening.

I don't care to go to her shows today, but I do give her credit for still touring and hanging in there and entertaining those who enjoy it. So she must have an audience.

Thanks. That's going to save me some money. But I usually see more at the Taper anyway. By the way, Vanya and Sonia is terrific.
