Biography

A glimpse through the glasses

Dame Edna Everage is probably the most popular and gifted woman in the world today: housewife, investigative journalist, social anthropologist, talk show host, swami, childrens book illustrator, spin doctor, Megastar, and Icon. With Olivia Newton-John, Kylie Minogue and Nicole Kidman, she is one of a remarkable succession of female stars to emerge from Australia. Her success Down Under was repeated in London with stage shows including "Housewife, Superstar", "A Night with Dame Edna" and countless command performances for the royal family. Her recent Broadway show, "Dame Edna: The Royal Tour" received the Tony Award for Live Theatrical Event and was met with unanimous critical acclaim and lead to a wildly successful U.S. National tour which she lovingly called "My First Last Tour." Michael L. Walters is an actor, singer and an award-winning celebrity impersonator. His impersonation of the famed Aussie Dame has taken him all over the US and Canada to appear at various corporate and private functions and major entertainment events from Las Vegas to Canada. Barry Humphries, creator of Dame Edna, has approved Michael's portrayal and has even called Michael's performance as Edna "Spectacular!" In addition to Dame Edna, Michael is also widely recognized for his spot-on impersonation of Television Icon Jackie Gleason - Gaining the blessing of the Gleason estate and the friendship of the late, great Gleason choreographer and sister-in-law, June Taylor. Michael has performed as "The Great One" many times on the stage of Miami Beach's Jackie Gleason Fillmore Theatre. Michael is also an award-winning actor, performing in over 75 stage productions in the course of his career, playing such starring and principal roles as Max Bialystock in "THE PRODUCERS" Tevye in "FIDDLER ON THE ROOF" Albin/Zaza in "LA CAGE AUX FOLLES" and Harold Hill in "THE MUSIC MAN" Michael originated the role of Bruce The Shark in "Finding Nemo: The Musical." for Walt Disney Creative entertainment. Bruce was the same role that Dame Edna creator Barry Humphries voiced in the Disney/Pixar hit film. Michael currently resides in Fort Lauderdale and makes many appearances as Edna around the country, as well as being featured weekly at some of South Florida's hottest clubs and cabaret nightspots
