  This has been one of my favorite shows for a long time. Loved the production at the Lyric. Amazing how they can pack such a large production on such a small stage. Cast is terrific, especially Jim. Nothing beats a live orchestra too! Collapse

  What a wonderful revival of this classic musical comedy. I was so impressed by Ed Hoopman in the role of Groucho--it was as if Groucho had come back to life. Hoopman had Groucho's voice, facial expressions, and body language down cold. The Harpo and Chico impersonators were less convincing--indeed, casting a female for Harpo was a bit distracting. Nonetheless, the zany spirit of the comedy was irresistable, and the song and dance routines charmed everyone in the audience. Like most of those old musicals, the plot doesn't make a lot of sense--the focus is on the comedy and the music, and this production delivers on that score. Full disclosure: I love the Marx Brothers and was predisposed to like the show, but I went with someone who hadn't seen the Marx Brothers films, and she loved the show too. Collapse
