RAVING RICHARD RADIO REVIEW, FOR BROADCAST LIVE ON 3/26/8: KKIM, 1000 A.M., ALBUQUERQUE, AND 94.7 P.M., SANTA FE
GREETINGS FROM THEATRELAND. MY COMMENTARY IS ABOUT THAT CLASSIC PLAY, "HARVEY," BEING STAGED AT THE ADOBE THEATRE. "HARVEY," A MULTIPLE AWARD-WINNING PLAY, WAS WRITTEN BY MARY COYLE CHASE: IT WAS FIRST PERFORMED IN 1944 IN DENVER BEFORE ITS TITLE WAS CHANGED TO "HARVEY," AND THEN IT RE-OPENED FOR AN EXTENDED RUN ON BROADWAY, STARRING FRANK FAY AND AND JOSEPHINE HULL—ACTUALLY, ONE OF THE BROADWAY'S LONGEST-RUNNING PLAYS. LATER, "HARVEY" WAS MADE INTO INTO A FILM, STARRING JIMMY STEWART IN THE LEADING ROLE.
IN THE ADOBE'S PRODUCTION, THE CASTING COULDN'T BE BETTER, WITH DIRECTION BY KENNETH BENNINGTON. THERE'S NOT TIME TO MENTION EACH INDIVIDUALLY, THOUGH WELL DESERVED—-SUFFICE TO CREDIT VERNON POITRAS, CYNDY NOLL, JENNIFER LLOYD, AND MICHAEL GIRLAMO TO REPRESENT THIS ENTIRE STELLAR CAST. YOU'LL ENJOY THEM ALL, AS EACH IS SO BELIEVABLE IN THE PART—-A MARK OF PROFICIENCY.
"HARVEY" RUNS WEEKENDS AT THE ADOBE THROUGH APRIL 13, AND FOR TICKETS, CALL THE ADOBE THEATRE AT 898.9222.
