harvey fierstein writing a musical with billy joel

during the awkward pause at la cage tonite, harvey did a little q&a with the audience. a few congratulated him on fiddler, another asked him about new projects. he hinted at a revival of torch song trilogy, but nobody has the stuff to play his character, although he could play the grandmother after his stint in fiddler. he also said that hes writing a musical with john bucchino (spelling?) and another with Billy Joel....just thought it was an interesting tidbit.

That is the best news I have heard all year!

I had heard that Billy Joel wanted to make an actual musical, not a revue like Movin' Out. Who better to write the book?
