Harvey Fierstein is the latest to join BC/EFA's Broadway Legends ornament series! His iconic portrayal of Edna Turnblad from Hairspray can be the centerpiece of any holiday display with its release this November. Click here to purchase!

Behind every great man is a great woman, as the sensational Harvey Fierstein proved in the musical Hairspray. Bedazzled in colorful stripes and glitter, Harvey's Tony-winning Edna Turnblad becomes the eleventh ornament in the Broadway Legends series, and the first male, albeit dressed as a woman! Edna is glamorously transformed and welcomed to the '60's on the 6" tall glass ornament, designed by Glen Hanson with the Christopher Radko Company.
