Dame Edna Everage and Michael Feinstein, the stars of the forthcoming Broadway show All About Me, met the press at New 42nd Street Studios, on Monday, February 1.

The show is written by Christopher Durang, Barry Humphries (aka Dame Edna) and Feinstein, and conceived by Feinstein and Humphries, with Lizzie Spender and Terrence Flannery. The cast also includes Gregory Butler, Jodi Capeless, and Jon-Paul Mateo. All About Me will play Broadway’s Henry Miller’s Theatre beginning February 22, with an opening on March 18. Casey Nicholaw will direct.

Feinstein has previously played Broadway in Michael Feinstein in Concert, and two additional concerts subtitled Piano and Voice and Isn’t It Romantic. He is a four-time Grammy nominee and received a special Drama Desk Award in 1988 for celebrating American musical theater songs.

Humphries has been performing for over 50 years, and has also starred in such shows as Dame Edna: Back with a Vengeance and Dame Edna: The Royal Tour, for which he won the Drama Desk award for Outstanding Solo Performance and received a Special Tony Award for Live Theatrical Presentation.
