Dame Edna Everage: "Losing my Mind" in Children and Art Stephen Sondheim's 75th Birthday Concert

In honor of the passing of Dame Edna Everage (aka: Barry Humphries) today...I decided to dig into the vault and bring out Dame Edna's rendition of "Losing My Mind" from Stephen Sondheim's 75th Birthday Concert at the New Amsterdam Theatre (March 21, 2005). You mean thank (or curse) me later...

It was Bruce Kimmel who invited Dame Edna to sing this song (with Sondheim's blessing) and first recorded it.

Barry's mother said that she did not know where he came from. Born comic and entertainer.

It can't be a coincidence that she wore this the same year as Kylie's Showgirl Tour.

Butterfly and my mother became close friends and would laugh together for hours. She wrote my mother many lovely letters

Gee, I wonder whose idea for the Dame to do this song was - way back in 2000 on The Stephen Sondheim Album.

It can’t have been that long ago….sigh.
