Tickets are now on sale for the upcoming Broadway production of Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song, starring Michael Urie and Mercedes Ruehl. The work will play its original Broadway home, the Hayes Theater. Moisés Kaufman directs the production, scheduled to begin previews on October 9 with an opening set for November 1.
Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song follows the odyssey of Arnold Beckoff (Urie) to find happiness in New York. All he wants is a husband, a child and a pair of bunny slippers that fit, but a visit from his overbearing mother (Ruehl) reminds him that he needs one thing more: respect.
Additional casting for Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song will be announced at a later date.
