Rating:  - Scarecrow (Broadway Theatre Archive)
I mainly purchased the video Scarecrow (Broadway Theatre Archive) becaure I'm a fan of Pete Duel, one of the actors in the play. The play had a touching philosophical ending with the Scarecrow played by Gene Wilder asking questions like Is there a God? Who made me? Why am I here? What is love?

Rating: - Wonderful
An adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Feathertop", this play brings to life all the elements of that short-story. I performed as "Polly" (alias "Rachel" in the play) & its wonderful to see it dramatized.
Rating: - Scarecrow: A welcomed gem returns after 32 years...
What a pleasure to revisit this first-rate production after its 30 years in obscurity. Funny, serious and haunting "Scarecrow" is the colorful tale of a bewitched scarecrow, falsely disguised as the image of true love, and the awakening of his heart's desire to seek and claim his soul as his own.
This production is worth viewing just to enjoy Gene Wilder's compelling and earlier performances and he is joined by an impressive cast.
Pete Duel, as the real image of true love, provides ... Read More
