Tune in to TCM: The Catered Affair
Movie Dearest —
Harvey Fierstein, currently on Broadway in the stage musical adaptation of this film, says it best (by way of Entertainment Weekly): "Bette Davis considered her performance, as a Bronx housewife who insists on giving her daughter a big wedding whether the girl wants it or not, one of her career best. What more do you want? Well, let me tell you what more The Catered Affair offers: there's a beautifully modulated dramatic acting job by Debbie Reynolds, proving she ...
Harvey Fierstein, Actor
Gothamist —
... It says a lot about Harvey Fierstein's distinctiveness that it's almost impossible to even say the name 'Harvey' without thinking of that endearingly gravelly voice. Whether you know him as Homer Simpson's assistant Karl, Robin Williams's brother in Mrs. Doubtfire, or Hairspray's Edna Turnblad, the Brooklyn-born actor's uninhibited, self-assured persona is thoroughly his own. Now the four-time Tony winner is back on Broadway with A Catered Affair, the musical adaptation of ...

... ignore teenagers in real life but it would be a shame not to check out the wit and joy of exuberant youth behind this fresh new musical with a great energetic score by Jason Robert Brown. The awe inspiring young cast and band of teenagers impressively pull off singing and playing to JRB's intricate music while dancing to Christopher Gatelli's aerobic choreography and while the story may be pretty plain and simple, the emotions and lessons of growing up are not. 12.
