Harvey Fierstein is the Tony Award-winning author of Torch Song Trilogy and La Cage aux Folles. His other theater writings include Kinky Boots, Newsies, Casa Valentina (all Tony-nominated), A Catered Affair (12 Drama Desk nominations), and Bella Bella. His theater performances include Torch Song Trilogy and Hairspray (Tony Awards for both), Fiddler on the Roof, La Cage aux Folles, Gently Down the Stream, and A Catered Affair. His film and TV appearances include Mrs. Doubtfire, The Good Wife, and Cheers (Emmy nominated). He has voiced characters in the film Mulan and the shows Big Mouth, The Dark Crystal, BoJack Horseman, and many more. Fierstein’s career has taken him from community theater in Brooklyn, New York, to the lights of Broadway and the absurd excesses of Hollywood and back. In I Was Better Last Night: A Memoir (Knopf), he reveals tales – of personal struggles and conflict, sex and romance – that he says not even those closest to him have heard. His candid recollections provide a rich window into downtown New York City life, the gay rights movements of the 1970s and the tumultuous AIDS crisis of the ‘80s, the evolution of theater, and his family’s journey of acceptance.
