Update: Read All About Me Review: Dame Edna, Michael Feinstein As Sonny and Cher

In what has all the markings of a clever public relations stunt, the “feud” between Michael Feinstein and Dame Edna has been resolved…by their agreeing to appear together in a show entitled “All About Me.”
For a week now, there have been battling press releases because the titles of their respective shows, which were starting on Broadway a week apart in March, were so similar: “All About Me” and “It’s All About Me.” Now it’ll be one show, “All About Me.” It will open on March 23rd.
As it turns out, those in the know reported long ago that the two would be appearing on a Broadway show together. Wily — a little old-fashioned Broadway press agentry a la “Sweet Smell of Success”
