THE LOST MARX BROTHERS MUSICAL

I’ll Say She Is opened in New York in 1924. It was the Broadway debut of the Marx Brothers and the beginning of a musical comedy revolution.

After a brief return to the road following the Broadway closing, I’ll Say She Is wasn’t seen for ninety years. Marx scholar and Groucho performer Noah Diamond reconstructed the book and score for the show’s historic first-ever revival, seen at the New York International Fringe Festival in 2014, and Off Broadway at the Connelly Theater in 2016.
