Harvey Fierstein Instagram – Went to see my precious Shoshana Bean in HELL’S KITCHEN last night and had a blast. She, and the entire cast, are talent on parade! Amazing energy and passion for their work. Bravi one and all.
After the performance, standing on the stage with the company and crew, several of whom I’ve known for years… decades even… one of the house staff said she was happy that I was there. “Where else would I be?” I asked.
Looking out at the now empty audience I remarked, “There are a lot of seats out there. They fill up performance after performance, 8 times a week, with people who love theater. But we who live and breathe Broadway could only fill a house like this a couple of nights and then no more. We are a rare breed, we creatures of the stage. Rare and precious and spectacular to behold. We bring a room of strangers together and through the magic of seductive artistry we get them to believe whatever we say as truth. No house of worship is more powerful than a theater with a story to tell.” | Posted on 10/May/2024 18:12:41
