WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In one corner, there's the internationally acclaimed Michael Feinstein, the sensational singer/pianist whose dazzling interpretation of the Great American Songbook has won awards and hearts around the world.
In the other corner stands Dame Edna Everage, the toast of Melbourne society and an international giga-star whose classic performance of the Great Australian Songbook is not only catchy, it's shorter than the American version.
This spring, these colossal mega-talents come to Broadway under the direction and choreography of Tony ® nominee Casey Nicholaw (The Drowsy Chaperone, Spamalot), and you can be there when one singular sensation meets another.

Nothing Else like it on Broadway!!
So much fun!! I am a broadway regular living in Brooklyn and I was lucky enough to get comp tickets to see All About Me starring Dame Edna and Michael Feinstein. I was kinda skeptical at first but was swaying my gladiola proudly by the end of the production!
It is like NOTHING else on Broadway! The set is gorgeous and a bit reminiscent of Rickys Cabana in I love Lucy. Michael starts off the show with three beautiful numbers in which he sings and plays the piano with the orchestra on stage accompanying him! Then out comes the Dame on her throne of gladioli. It is a stage picture you will never forget!! Dame Edna is hysterical! She thinks on her feet and reacts and pulls from what is happening around her!
I would totally pay full price to go back and see it again! I heard it changes and is a different show every night! Everyone on stage seems to be having a great time and really are enjoying themselves! I highly recommend.

Brilliant moments
Despite the awkward, overly-sincere Feinstein reveries about the American songbook almost laughable, though theyre not meant to be, there are great moments in this show that are not to be missed. Dame Ednas rendition of "Ladies Who Lunch," is absolute genius, better even than Strichs; her song "The Dingo Ate My Baby" is hysterically funny; and her physical comedy has never been better. And whenever Feinstein stops talking and starts singing, he brings down the house. Definitely recommended!

In the rapidly receding days of early network television, variety hours were regularly scheduled -- perhaps the most famous being the 1953 Ford Motor Company's 50th anniversary show featuring Ethel Merman and Mary Martin sailing through a 13-minute greatest-hits medley. So imagine a show back then pairing Milton Berle, always famous for his drag routines, and chart-topper Eddie Fisher, and you've conjured something like the mildly diverting All About Me, a sort of shotgun-wedding teaming of Barry Humphries as ribald Dame Edna Everage and Michael Feinstein as his ebullient self, at the Henry Miller's Theatre.
The show's it's-all-about-me conceit -- which supposes that Edna and Feinstein [...]
