Includes more than eighty rare photographs, some published here for the first time.
Before they made the films which are their principal legacy, the Marx Brothers were the stars of three Broadway musicals in the 1920s. Two of these, The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers, are popular classics, familiar from the Brothers' immortal film versions, and from numerous stage revivals. But the boys' 1924 Broadway debut, I'll Say She Is, was never filmed or revived, and it slipped through history's fingers. Although it was the most successful thing the Marx Brothers ever did on stage, it was unseen for ninety years after the original production closed, and has been considered a lost work.
In 2009, writer, performer, lyricist, and Groucho Marxist Noah Diamond began a seven-year odyssey which led to the restoration, adaptation, and finally the historic first revival of this legendary entry in the Marx and musical theatre canons. Gimme a Thrill tells the whole story for the first time-the complete history of I'll Say She Is from 1923 to 2014.
Noah Diamond adapted the book and lyrics for I'll Say She Is and has a long history of playing Groucho, on and off the stage. He is among the organizers of Marxfest, New York City's Marx Brothers festival, and has written and lectured widely on the Marxes and their work. With his partner Amanda Sisk, he wrote and produced the Nero Fiddled musicals, a series of political satires. His previous books are 400 Years in Manhattan and Love Marches On.

400 YEARS IN MANHATTAN, Mr. Diamond's multimedia monologue about the history of New York City and his experiences as a tour guide, won Best Educational Show in the 2019 United Solo Theatre Festival. Directed by Amanda Sisk, the production enjoyed an extended run at Theatre Row on 42nd Street. A book based on the show, and also entitled 400 YEARS IN MANHATTAN, was published in 2019.
Mr. Diamond and Ms. Sisk wrote, produced, and appeared in the Nero Fiddled shows, a series of musical political satires seen in New York from 2004 to 2008.
In addition to LOVE MARCHES ON and 400 YEARS IN MANHATTAN, Mr. Diamond's books include GIMME A THRILL: THE STORY OF I'LL SAY SHE IS. His essay "Anatomy of a Moustache" appears in Matthew Coniam's THAT'S ME, GROUCHO!, and more of his work has been seen in Zelda magazine, Spaz Comics, and on the little-known internet.
He lives in Washington Heights, Manhattan with Sisk and the cats. For a world of fun, visit [...].
