All That Glitters Is Not Golden: Henry Miller's Will Welcome Dame Edna and Michael Feinstein Show

All About Me, the Dame Edna-Michael Feinstein show previously announced for Broadway's Golden Theatre, will play the east side of Times Square, instead — at Henry Miller's Theatre, Variety reported.

Not-for-profit Roundabout Theatre Company, which has the lease on the new Henry Miller's on 43rd Street, is renting it to the commercial producers of the new Dame Edna-Michael Feinstein comedy-music show, which is set to open March 18, 2010.

Roundabout's Bye Bye Birdie inaugurated the newly constructed Miller's this fall, on the site of the old theatre of the same name. The limited run ends in January. The theatre is in subterranean levels of the new Bank of America building.

Variety cited Roundabout leadership as saying that the company intends to use its new venue for its own productions as a source of rental income.

"It's tough times. We really think aggressively about alternate means of raising money," Roundabout artistic director Todd Haimes told the trade paper.

All About Me is produced by Jeffrey Richards and Jerry Frankel. It's written by Christopher Durang and will be directed by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks. Previews begin Feb. 19.
