The upcoming concert at the Breman Museum is going vaudeville with the original brothers of comedy. This Sunday afternoon will feature “The Music of Marx Brothers.”

In addition to hearing Marx Brother’s songs, the program will also explore their comedic legacy. The musical will also show the way that the Marx Brother’s Jewish heritage impacted their artistry and perspective on comedy. The Breman Museum put this show as part of their “Molly Blank Concert” series.

The series highlights Jewish contributions to music, such as the Marx Brothers. City Lights’ host Lois Reitzes sat down with Adam Koplan, the director of Flying Carpet Theatre and with music director Greg Sudmeier to discuss the performance.
