A HUNDRED YEARS OF THRILLS

The original production of I’ll Say She Is opened in New York on May 19, 1924. It was the Broadway debut of the Marx Brothers and the beginning of a musical comedy revolution.

On May 19, 2024, we were proud to present “The Thrill of I’ll Say She Is,” a centennial celebration with Noah Diamond and friends, at Marxfest in New York City. Watch the video here.
