I noted it on the other Harvey thread. He looks amazing. He is SO Tevye.

I wouldn't be surprised if Harvey makes the attendence go close to 100%.

I am SO seeing this......

The producers need to be congratulated -- with one casting decision, they've managed to create buzz and interest in a show that's been limping along almost since it opened nearly a year ago to lukewarm reviews. Good for them!

He LOOKS good in the costume, but I still think this is a really bad casting decision. However, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I think the ones who think this was a bad casting decision are only familiar with Harvey in the role of Edna. Trust me, he is a talented man. He can do more...

He looks great!

I recognized him as Edna, but I don't see him in that costume at all. Harvey are you in there???

OK...as dreadful as I anticipate this being...I am SO seeing this.

"I think the ones who think this was a bad casting decision are only familiar with Harvey in the role of Edna. Trust me, he is a talented man. He can do more..."

Please don't mistake me for someone who's only seen the overrated "Hairspray". I've seen "Torch Song Trilogy", and several of his other films. Terrific talent, but I don't think he's right for the role. Like I said before, we'll wait and see.

Well, despite what I said before, he definitely looks the part, and I wouldn't mind seeing him in it!

Posted: 11/11/04 at 9:22pm

See, he looks amazing, but I just dread it when he opens his mouth...

I am not a rich woman but I will go see Harvey as Tevye!!!!

Harvey will be phenomenal and without a doubt much more heart than an italian psuedo british tevye.

[Unknown User]

He looks so happy!! So genuine!! And... dare I say it... a little adoreable... :) YAY! Can't wait!

I've never seen him in a role that was not gay. . so it's hard for me to imagine the role of Tevye in his typical voice. .

"Girlfriend. . you can't mah-ree a gentile! It's sooooo TRADITION!"



Smoochies!

Mama is now a Papa! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I'm really looking forward to seeing Harvey in this role!!

Yay! I'm sure he'll do wonderful!

I'm just curious as to how he'll pull off the singing with a voice like that...

Just let me take another opportunity to emphasize my anger and disgust at this casting move. Broadway is in so much trouble.

THE MAN CAN'T SING!

Thank you.

Wow. He looks great. He'll bring so much to the role. I'll bet his performance will be talked about for years.
