Harvey Fierstein, starring on Broadway in the revival of the hit musical, LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, remembers writing the show’s libretto and working with composer Jerry Herman plus director Arthur Laurents to put together the 1984 Tonywinning “Best Musical.” He discusses his interpretation in the current production of drag diva, “Albin,” a part he wrote, but never expected to play himself.
