It’s 1979 in New York City and Arnold Beckoff is on a quest for love, purpose and family. He’s fierce in drag and fearless in crisis, and he won’t stop until he achieves the life he desires.
After a smash-hit run Off-Broadway, Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song heads to Broadway for a strictly limited engagement.
Hilarious and heart-wrenching, Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song follows Arnold Beckoff’s (Michael Urie) odyssey 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 (Mercedes Ruehl) reminds him that he needs one thing more: respect.
An all too human journey about the families we’re born into, the families we choose, and the battles to bring them all home.
