According to Classicalite, Marxfest, the first New York Marx Brothers Festival, will be reviving a Marx Brothers musical that hasn't been seen in 90 years. Groucho, Chico, Harppo, and Zeppo got their start in the Broadway stage- it wasn't until later than they became screen stars. And, while many of their stage skits have been recorded, their 1924 Broadway debut was never filmed and never revived.
In May 1914, four brothers at a poker table sat down as Leonard, Arthur, Julius, and Milton, and stood up as Chico, Harpo, Groucho, and Gummo. In May 2014, MARXFEST celebrates the centennial of this momentous event with screenings, talks, parties, performances, and remembrances, all in the city of their birth.
