Directed by David Leveaux, this production of the classic Jerry Bock-Sheldon Harnick-Joseph Stein musical opened at the Minskoff Theatre in February to mixed reviews. Also featured in the cast are Randy Graff as Golde, Nancy Opel as Yente, Sally Murphy as Tzeitel, and John Cariani as Motel.

Fierstein made his Broadway debut in 1982, writing and starring in Torch Song Trilogy and receiving Tony Awards for both efforts. Before his Tony-winning turn as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray, he won a Tony for writing the libretto for the Jerry Herman-scored musical La Cage aux Folles, a Broadway revival of which is set to open next month.
