What a show! The Henry Miller’s Theater was packed tonight, and many people were on their feet singing (and dancing) along. I wish I could bring everyone up onstage with me! Having this much fun makes the work that much easier! But I have to remind myself to take it slow, I’ve got to do this 8 times a week.
I made the rounds this morning with Dame Edna, giving several interviews before rehearsal… One of the few times I don’t mind letting her do all the talking. Although I usually have to remind her to mention the show at least once. At the theater, a large box of Dame Edna’s fan mail was delivered to my dressing room by “mistake,” but I have a feeling she just wanted me to see how much there is. Little does she know that all the I get mail too… I’m just letting it collect a bit.

Dame Edna managed to get her name listed first in the playbill tonight. When I approached her about it backstage, she told me it was simply alphabetical, that “Edna comes before Feinstein.” I’m always amazed by what she gets away with.
I apologize for my absence recently, possums! I have been living in the last week at the Henry Miller’s Theater – it’s a bit difficult to find wifi! It’s so clean and new and with 22 cubicles in the ladies restroom, a convenience unmatched on Broadway. At last, we girls do not have to stand in line, sometimes missing half the second act.
It’s great to be back on Broadway again! This show gets hotter every night. There was a delay in act two tonight (after Dame Edna’s big dance number). She left the stage a few moments and returned apologizing for what she called, “A serious wardrobe malfunction.” I can tell she’s been working overtime on her tap dancing, although I don’t think anyone has told her that louder doesn’t necessarily mean better!
I would just like to make a public apology to the very kind woman in Row J, Seat 102 who was accidentally hit in the eye with a flying gladioli at last night’s preview performance! I know Dame Edna and I can get a little rough with each other at times, but I’ve never intentionally harmed an audience member. And don’t worry, I told Dame Edna she needs to calm down a bit from now on. Please let my assistant know when you would be able to see Act Two with both eyes fully healed, and I’ll make sure you get the best seat in the house.
