What a Shame!!! - 2:53PM on 4/20/2008

What a shame there was no intermission during this show. I could have left after 45 minutes. It takes real talent to take bankable stars like Faith Prince and Tom Wopat and saddle them with a flat, boring non-musical musical. Save your money. Go see "Young Frankenstein" a second time!!!

Disappointed - 2:53PM on 4/23/2008

My first trip to New York, my first Broadway play, very disappointed with the play, a lot of talent lost. Went and saw Wicked, what a fantastic and magical play to see, so all was not lost, just the price of the tickets to A Catered Affair!!

Sorry to disagree with all the naysayers but my wife and I found the show moving. We thought the portrayls of a poor and conflicted family struck a chord with those of us who grew up in mid century New York.

A great day in NYC - 5:00PM on 5/01/2008

My 18 year old daughter had wanted to see this show as soon as she heard the name "Harvey". We saw it, and although it was not what we were expecting no dancing or hilarious scenes, we were captivated. Both of us, & folks around us were moved to tears at some points, & laughing at others. Weve seen Wicked, Mary Poppins, Hairspray & Drowsy, among others, & each was a favorite & will be remembered for a different reason. This show will be a great memory for us too!! Thanks Harvey & cast !!
