Torch Song Trilogy

Torch Song Trilogy is a collection of three plays by Harvey Fierstein, running in New York City from June 10, 1982, to May 19, 1985 at the Little Theatre (now the Helen Hayes Theatre on West 44th Street). In 1988, it was made into a film starring Anne Bancroft, Matthew Broderick, Harvey Fierstein and Brian Kerwin.

Trivia

While Matthew Broderick played Arnold's lover Alan in the movie version, he originated the role of David, the adopted son when Torch Song began off-Broadway. He left to film the movie Max Dugan Returns before the show moved to Broadway's Little Theatre.
