The NY Times Review of Harvey as Tevye
Since I brought it up a couple of weeks ago, figured I'd provide a link to the NYT review of Harvey's performance.
It's...mixed...I suppose is the word. They seem to like him better than a nearly languid Alfred Molina performance, but they say how jarring it is to hear that voice speaking and singing Tevye's lines.
If I lived in NY, or visited there, while Harvey was in the role, I still think I'd check it out. I'm sure, if nothing else, he is bringing a fresh interpretation to the stage!
