Details

One of the longest running comedies in Broadway and West End history, Harvey has endeared generations of audiences with the relationship of the amiable Elwood P Dowd and his best friend, the 6'1" tall white rabbit which only he can see. Elwood's family are finally driven to committing him into Chumley's rest home for the mentally disturbed, and here the fun really starts. Doctor Chumley becomes convinced he, too, can see Harvey and, believing that the rabbit is a spirit of good fortune, attempts to charm him away from Elwood. The madness is catching, as everybody soon believes that Harvey is as large as life.
