"As, [Harvey Fierstein] always says, it's a happy pill and in this time, with everything the way it is ... you get to see a show that's uplifting. You walk out happy and that's rare these days," Lauper said of the Off-Broadway production that recently opened at Stage 42.
Fierstein went on to discuss how gender identity is expressed in the show and in today's culture, revealing how the relationship between the show's two main characters is healing.
"They find this bond between them and through that bond, they heal each other and once you heal each other, you heal the world," Fierstein stated.
Joining Francis in the Off-Broadway production is Christian Douglas as "Charlie Price," Danielle Hope as "Lauren," Brianna Stoute as "Nicola," Sean Steele as "Don," and Marcus Neville, reprising his role of "George" from the Broadway production.
