Bella Bella

by Harvey Fierstein

Manhattan Theater Club

NY Theatre Wire, Lucy Komisar

"Under the direction of Kimberly Senior, he creates a Bella Abzug of wit and toughness, quite recognizable to those of us who knew her. And he has done a superb job of presenting the vision and politics of a woman whose accomplishments still are not recognized by the mainstream."


New York Stage Review, Elysa Gardner

"And Bella, which Fierstein wrote and performs, under the precise and loving direction of Kimberly Senior, is a mechayeh—a blessing that brings joy and relief, here in the form of a funny, pointed, affectionate tribute that reminds us how far dedication and, yes, resistance can (and can't) go in effecting positive change."




Jonathan Leiter, The Leiter Side

"Fierstein, smartly directed by Kimberly Senior, makes the unusual choice not to play the part in drag, or to do much to make himself particularly 'feminine.'"


Light and Sound America, David Barbour

"Senior's direction keeps the pace light and lively, and she has seemingly reined in her star to good effect."
