Fierstein says farewell to Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS Harvey Fierstein's four-month stay in Las Vegas comes to a close tonight.
Fierstein will perform for the last time tonight in "Hairspray," the latest Broadway import to hit the Las Vegas Strip.
Fierstein told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he's looking forward to his first real vacation in two years.
The Tony Award-winning actor and playwright had only three days between performing in "Fiddler on the Roof" in New York and "Hairspray" rehearsals at the Luxor casino hotel.
He says the audience here is more relaxed than on Broadway.
He says he had a great time in Las Vegas and he'll be back some day.
Taking Fierstein's place starting tomorrow as housewife Edna Turnblad is Paul Vogt, a sketch comedian from "Mad TV."
