According to Cindy Adams, Harvey himself said that he will leave Hairspray in March.

yes.. but according to other reliable sources, his departure isn't really until MAY.

Also - there are many wrong "fact" in that same column.. so don't believe everything you read of Cindy's...

I guess that's why they call Cindy Adams a "gossip columnist"!

PodiumPerson~"Everyone is incorrect."
Care to elaborate on that?

PennyLou - I love that you have both Kerry and Jen in your Icon. That shows respect and class. However, regarding your asking me to elaborate......... His departure date is NOT confirmed. Options to renew dates, yes. Departure dates, no.

I posted May 2 a while ago!!

Posted: 1/23/04 at 9:28am

Yes, the NY Times made a one sentence blurb saying Harvey's last performance is May 2nd. My money is on his renewing his conract and/or taking a brief vacation to relax, only to return for another great run. Call me crazy.........wait, don't do that.

If it's true, congrats to whoever has the opportunity to recreate the role. Updated On: 1/23/04 at 09:28 AM

I don't know if he can return too soon - he has projects he will be working on (La Cage)

Yes, congrats to him for his new gig.. **sniffles** I am gonna miss that bright smile that lights up the Neil Simon Theatre and that bubble butt in those blue pants! **sniffles**

How often do you see him that you would miss him?

Does anyone think that they will ever hire a woman for that role? Or will it always be a man in drag?

[PennyLou]

Posted: 1/24/04 at 1:05am

I hope they never have a women play the role it would take away form it. It's writen for a man and I fell it should stay a man. I think thta is one of the only things that would stop me form going to see the show. To do that it's got to be bad!

Barry Humphries as Edna or Richard Skipper as Edna. Updated On: 1/25/04 at 12:57 PM
