A period of struggle and tough economic times serves as the backdrop for this comedy of "hunger" which examines how humor prevails over desperation.

We remember Jimmy Stewart as a man who has a rabbit for a friend. When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, to guests at a society party, his sister, Vera,has seen as much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate. Vera decides that it’s off to the funny farm for Elwood to spare them all future embarrassment, but Vera gets confused as the loony one and is committed instead of Elwood.  As the doctors themselves come under Harvey’s spell, we see that this comedy is really about reality and who gets to define it.

Set in New York City in 1944, it's a time of innocence, uncertainty, humor and optimism - but the stresses of war are affecting soldiers and civilians alike. This touching, sweet, funny and thought-provoking musical tells the story of a middle-aged woman’s determination to become an essential part of America’s war effort.
 
The musical features original songs evoking the era with every style of music from the 1940s represented including ~ a patriotic anthem, tuneful nods to New York City and Carmen Miranda, sweet ballads, waltzes and foxtrots.

We remember Jimmy Stewart as a man who has a rabbit for a friend. When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, to guests at a society party, his sister, Vera,has seen as much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate. Vera decides that it’s off to the funny farm for Elwood to spare them all future embarrassment, but Vera gets confused as the loony one and is committed instead of Elwood.  As the doctors themselves come under Harvey’s spell, we see that this comedy is really about reality and who gets to define it.
