If it's been 102 years since I'LL SAY SHE IS opened in NYC, that must mean it's been TWO years since the I'LL SAY SHE IS Centennial Celebration at @marxfest.org in 2024! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmj0...

I'LL SAY SHE IS Day seems to come a little earlier every year! GROUCHO: Who was that lady I saw you with last night? CHICO: That wasn't last night. That was the night before last night. Thrills and best wishes to all who celebrate!

And if it's 101 years since the Broadway opening, it's ONE year since the centennial presentation at @marxfest.org! Revisit the presentation now on video, with songs, visuals, guests, clips from the revival, and whatever weird thing was going on with my hair that day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmj0...

It seems like only yesterday that the wild young Marx Brothers made their Broadway debut in I'LL SAY SHE IS and changed comedy forever. But no, it was 101 years ago today! Put on your Napoleon hat and celebrate: England rules the waves, but France waives the rules! Learn more at illsaysheis.com.

100 years ago, the first Marx Brothers Broadway hit was highly praised by the intellectuals, critics, and writers that made up what was known as The Algonquin Round Table. Hard to believe from looking at this pic from I'LL SAY SHE IS that the brothers were considered intellectual parody!
