One of the longest running comedies in Broadway history and a smash hit movie starring James Stewart, 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 is finally driven to committing him into a home for the mentally disturbed, and that's where the fun really starts as Doctor Chumley becomes convinced that 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. A true classic of modern theatre.
