Harvey Fierstein… in drag
I have fond memories of Harvey Fierstein for his role in Mrs. Doubtfire. The comedic timing, that voice. He’s so memorable. And then last year, I met him during the press junket for The Wiz Live. And he was just as charming out of character. Turns out, Harvey was the one who wrote the play for the 2015 reboot. This time though he’s getting back out on stage to play the role of Edna Turnblad. Fierstein is not new to the role as he played Edna in the 2002 revival of the show. His portrayal of Edna won him a Tony so we should be in for a treat.
