Of the role, Ginger says, “To finally play Edna Turnblad is truly a dream come true. She is one of musical theater’s most beloved characters because she reminds us that love, family, and believing in one another can change the world. At a moment when people need joy more than ever, I can’t think of a better story to tell. I’m deeply honored to stand on the shoulders of Divine, John Waters, Harvey Fierstein, and all of the extraordinary artists who created this enduring celebration of acceptance, laughter, and the courage to be unapologetically yourself.”
