Additional Comments: It's staring Jim Parsons, the guy from The Big Bang Theory, who won one or more Emmys. Carole Kane is also featured in it. Remember her? I sure do. I'm assuming the play is based on that film staring Jimmy Stewart, where his character pals around with a large white rabbit named Harvey. If so, I wonder what part Brygmann plays? Anyone have any further info?

Despite the age of the play, Broadway has been known for years to rely on past successes & obviously Jim Parsons is a big-name these days so he will be the major drawing card. Carol Kane is playing Betty Chumley, the wife of the doctor. Jessica Hecht is playing the sister. Larry Bryggman who has to be one of the best actors of stage, screen & television is playing Judge Gaffney.
Thanks for the heads up -- living close to New York, I'd definitely like to try & go see it.

I think there is a shrink in it so that is probably what Larry is playing. I would imagine Carol is playing the sister of the main character. That show is sooo dated I wonder if it will play at $125.00 a ticket. Glad Larry is still working.

Message: Was Carol Kane the gal who played Simka on Taxi? I think so. She was very funny. I love the Big Bang Theory, but I like Leonard better than Sheldon. I heard that originally Leonard was supposed to be the main character, but Parsons impressed them, so they made Sheldon the main character. To me, he is too much of a cartoon character. I have also heard he is just like Sheldon in real life.
