CD Reviews

Sensational CD
Elizabeth C. Ferris | New York USA | 12/15/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Dame Edna's show last summer (2003) in Australia is the first CD and is just wonderful - very similar to her current Broadway show 'Back with a Vengeance'. Lots of similar material but the different audiences make each show unique. I loved it and played it again after seeing her on Broadway recently.



Then there's Les Patterson whom I was just dying to hear/see/get to know. Was I ever in for a surprise with this CD! The songs are, to echo the other two male reviewers, jaw-droppingly filthy. I couldn't quite believe what I was hearing with "Tuna Town" or even "A Hard Act to Follow". But they have endeared me to Les for some reason I can't explain - his cluelessness, maybe? He's a sort of ignorant but innocent buffoon. Anyway, the lyrics go through my head over and over and I'm just glad no one knows! I play those 13 songs all the time and they're a real pick-me-upper.



Sandy Stone is still a character I'm getting to know, so I'm working on that. He's more subtle and maybe needs to be seen to be appreciated. I guess neither Les nor Sandy will ever been seen by American audiences. Too bad for us.
