Stars Dame Edna Everage, the international gigastar, and Michael Feinstein. Now, they need an honorary understudy. Open auditions are being held for the honorary Dame Edna understudy.
Producers are asking auditionees to be dressed in Dame Edna garb and to prepare a two-minute audition explaining why he/she would make a fabulous Dame Edna understudy. The auditions will be held on February 17th from 10:00 am – 11:30 am at Henry Miller’s Theatre (124 West 43rd St.)
Auditionees should also be prepared to perform either a monologue, performance piece or modern dance movement and should prepare 16 bars of a song of his/her choice (largesse points for selections from The Great Australian songbook). The winner of the audition contest will receive a credit in the Playbill as the official honorary understudy for Dame Edna.
To audition, producers are asking people to e-mail their name, resume and a transient explanation of what makes them fit to be a Dame Edna understudy to allaboutmecasting@gmail.com.
...Last Christmas a neon green pine forest sprouted over the entrance to Marks and Spencer, the rest of the store covered in a twinkling blizzard of fairy lights. Blinking neon Christmas presents dotted the front of House of Fraser and golden fairy lights rained down the Debenhams storefront. This year Christmas trees stand like sparkling sentries either side of the Selfridges main entrance and we’re waiting to see if they can superiority last year’s facade of a Vegas style Happy Christmas sign, complete with a tree wearing pink sunglasses. It’s definitely worth leaving the warm bus to go and check out the Selfridges windows, filled with Christmas scenes and bordered with festive greenery studded with lights. In 2010, Covent Garden did suitably arty decorations like giant baubles, a three story reindeer and a ‘kissing’ Christmas tree that lit up whenever a couple kissed under nearby mistletoe. Carnaby Street went with their own theme, the ‘space’ theme that was particularly memorable with its silver satellites and a Santa-astronaut floating in the air.

When I heard that she was designing this collection I in actuality thought it was going to be more gaudy than Dame Edna but as it turns out… it's only tackier than Traci Lords on a good day. I ctually might pick up a couple pieces for myself! |
