What really gets OLT's Harvey off to its endearing start is Marsha Guilfoyle's nuanced work as Elwood's tortured sister, Veta. The program says this is Guilfoyle's third play after years away from the boards, but aspiring actors would do well to study her adroit marriage of 1940s-style acting with naturalistic reacting. It eases us into the show's "reality," which is no more realistic than Elwood's invisible familiar. (Or is it?) She's paired well with Silva Goetz as her daughter, Myrtle Mae, and a subdued Jeff Hirschberg as Judge Gaffney.
