About this listen

Four-time Tony Award® winner Harvey Fierstein takes on New York City’s very own political firebrand, Bella Abzug, in his new raucous, heart-rending, and absurdly humorous solo show. Set in 1976, on the eve of her bid to become New York State’s first female senator, Bella Bella finds this larger-than-life, truth-slinging, groundbreaking, hat-wearing icon squirreled away in the bathroom of a midtown hotel awaiting that night’s election results while a coterie of family and celebs await her entrance. Directing is Kimberly Senior (The Niceties).

An inspiring insight into a woman trailblazer I had no knowledge of. Brilliantly portrayed by Harvey Firestone. I would describe this as an historical monologue of American political struggles mid 1900s

Superb

I had never heard of this lady before but she sounds amazing. Her story was told in a beautifully personal way and I would definitely like to know more about. In fact, I Googled her immediately after I finished listening.

Entertaining, enlightening and informative

I wasn't sure I would enjoy this with it being American politics but I love Harvey Fierstein voice so took a chance and I'm so glad I did.
Not only was it funny, it was thought provoking, sad, joyous and weirdly relatable.
If in doubt as to whether to listen, give it a chance, what have you got to lose :)

Loved it!

This came up on Audible and I started listening. I was puzzled by the male female but quickly grew to love Harvey Fierstein’s gravelly voice. The content was great with humour that got me laughing out loud. I will look out for more from Fierstein.

Brilliant and Amazing witty short story.

I knew nothing of Bella Abzug. Harvey Fierstien has used his distinctive voice and Abzug's powerful words to educate and entertain. Inspiring.

Chutzpah, Humanity, and Humour
