Evans died Christmas Eve at the Actors Fund Home in Bergen County
This file photo from May 2004 shows Harvey Evans, left, and Barbara Cook arriving for a dress rehearsal of the New York Philharmonic's presentation of "Candide" the musical at Lincoln Center in New York. Evans, an actor, singer and dancer who managed to land roles in the original Broadway productions of such classics as “West Side Story,” “Follies” “Hello, Dolly!” and “Gypsy,” died on Friday, Dec. 24, 2021.
“We lost a great one,” wrote Harvey Fierstein on Twitter in tribute. “He’s why we love musicals,” wrote playwright and author Paul Rudnick. Added Bernadette Peters, Harvey “was the dearest most talented being one could ever have the privilege of knowing.” Evans, who was born Harvey Hohnecker, grew up in Cincinnati and fell in love with musical theater after seeing a touring production of “Song of Norway.” “My entire childhood was spent waiting to graduate from high school so I could go to New York and be in a Broadway show,” he told Playbill.
Evans also was cast by Fosse for “Redhead,” with Verdon, and the movie of “The Pajama Game.” Other highlights were starring on Broadway with Henry Fonda and Margaret Hamilton in a revival of “Our Town” in 1969 and being a standby for Jim Dale in “Barnum” in the early 1980s. He was a chimney sweep when Julie Andrews immortalized “Mary Poppins” on film in 1964.
