Torch Song

Written by Harvey Fierstein
Directed by Scott Albert Bennett
​
A two-act revival based on the award-winning Torch Song Trilogy – the life of Arnold Beckoff, a torch song-singing, Jewish drag queen living in New York City, is dramatized over the span of the late 1970s and 1980s. Torch Song follows Arnold’s 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 reminds him that he needs one thing more: respect.

“Torch Song brings laughter and tears simultaneously. It’s impossible not to feel electricity in the theater.” — Entertainment Weekly
