Groucho: A Life In Revue at Rogue Theatre

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...In this Chicago Jewish Theatre production, Marshall Stern's melancholy Groucho isn't terribly funny, but he does have depth, combining the wiseacre we know with the sad sack we don't."

Time Out Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...Director Stern nicely handles the potentially clunky transitions from narration to scenes, and his Groucho is assured and intimate, although he does lack the comedian's silky grace. His portrayal of Groucho's last years is particularly effective, as he layers Groucho's signature expressions with the settled patience of old age."

ChicagoCritic - Recommended

"...This production is a serviceable glimpse into the wacky world of the Marx Brothers and Groucho. You’ll stop at the video store to rent Marx Brothers movies and you’ll look for re-runs of “You Bet Your Life” on the cable once you taste their humor."
