Simply Edie runs Thursday, Dec. 1 at 8 p.m., Friday, Dec. 2 at 10:30 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m., $15, at Davenport's, 1383 N Milwaukee, ( 773 ) 918-6368.
'Seriously, this gorgeous triple threat's singing and dancing are spectacular,' said the San Francisco Weekly. Edie is a former dancer with Ballet Chicago who is soon to be opening on Broadway in The Three Penny Opera. Mixing old standards with her unique 1960s Go-Go feel, she high-kicks her way through this all-singing, all-dancing hour of all-out fun. Her show includes original songs from her Off-Broadway show LEGS!, stories of growing up, and true tales of her adventures across the country as a traveling showgirl.
