BC/EFA hosted Broadway Does Mother's Day today! As part of the event, Harvey Fierstein created an "audition tape" for the role of Mama Rose.
"I made this tape for today's BCEFA benefit," Fierstein wrote on Facebook. "It was a terrific event but, of course, they only used a tiny piece of this so, for your enjoyment and my ego fulfillment, here is the whole 104 seconds."

Broadway Does Mother's Day took place today, May 10 at 3:00pm ET and benefits the Broadway Cares' COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund in an effort to replace some of the funds that would have been raised by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS' annual Easter Bonnet Competition.
