Look Out, Hairspray! Harvey's Back (and Better Than Ever)

Who’s that lady? It’s Harvey, of course! Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein got back in fabulous, glittering drag November 11, returning to the Neil Simon Theatre to reprise his award winning role as Edna Turnblad in hit musical Hairspray. The diva returned to a cast very different from the one he departed, including newcomers Marissa Perry (Tracy), Tevin Campbell (Seaweed J. Stubbs), Kate Loprest (Amber Von Tussle), Niki Scalera (Penny Pingleton) and Charlotte Crossley (Motormouth Maybelle), all of whom welcomed Fierstein home with open arms. The show’s original creative team was also on hand for the divine reunion, with original film director John Waters leading a fan club including book writers Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan, composer Marc Shaiman, co-lyricist Scott Wittman and stage director Jack O’Brien onstage to form the ultimate welcome wagon. As with any Harvey event, these are pictures you won’t want to miss. Click here to welcome Harvey back to Hairspray!
