On Tuesday night, The New York Times hosted a special TimesTalk with Harvey Fierstein and many of his celebrity friends, including John Bucchino, his collaborator on the new Broadway musical A Catered Affair.

Tony Award winner Faith Prince plays Fierstein’s sister Aggie in the much-awaited new musical.

Handsome Matt Cavenaugh co-stars in the show, about an impending wedding, as the groom-to-be.

Emmy Award winner Edie Falco was one of the guests who performed Fierstein’s work at the event.

Here’s Tony winner Dick Latessa, who played Fierstein’s husband Wilbur in the hit musical Hairspray.

On Tuesday night, Primary Stages unveiled the new political drama Something You Did. Here are the show’s female stars, Portia, Joanna Gleason, and Adriane Lenox.

Victor Slezak plays Gleason’s ex-lover in the show.

Jordan Charney co-stars as the attorney trying to free Gleason, an imprisoned ex-radical, from jail.

The show’s playwright, Willy Holtzman, enjoyed his big night.

On Wednesday, Tony winner Priscilla Lopez received her long-overdue caricature at Sardi’s. She poses here with her likeness — and her In the Heights co-stars Carlos Gomez and Mandy Gonzalez, who play her husband and her daughter.

Lopez’s real-life husband Vincent Fanuele and son Alex were on hand for the event.

Lin Manuel-Miranda, the show’s star and co-creator, and Karen Olivo, who plays the spirited Vanessa, were among Lopez’s many supporters.

Shuler Hensley dropped by before heading over to the Hilton Theatre, where he plays the Monster in Young Frankenstein.

The Gray Line unveiled three tour buses on Wednesday celebrating Disney’s current Broadway shows. Here are Mary Poppins star Ashley Brown, The Lion King‘s Tshidi Manye, and Sierra Boggess, who plays the title role in The Little Mermaid, in front of one of the vehicles.

Finally, on Monday night, the York Theatre hosted a sold-out reading of the musical The People vs. Mona. Marc Kudisch and Ron Raines, two of the show’s stars, relaxed after the performance.
