Though best remembered as a Marx Brothers movie romp, Animal Crackers first appeared as the outrageous comedy team's 1928 Broadway smash. After Groucho and co. left New York for Hollywood, the stage show was considered impossible to produce without its original stars, so it sat on a shelf for over 50 years. But with the Marxes long gone it's enjoying a revival renaissance, including this spirited rendition complete with rarely seen material from the original Broadway script. It's a lively opener for the Goodman Theatre's new season, which will continue in a Yiddishkeit vein with a bar mitzvah yarn called High Holidays.
