Cocoanuts, The (1925), a musical farce by George S.
Kaufman (book), Irving
Berlin (music, lyrics). [
Lyric Theatre, 276 perf.]
A vehicle for the Marx Brothers, this daffy musical produced by Sam H.
Harris was set in Florida where hotelier Henry W. Schlemmer ( Groucho Marx) is trying to sell swamp land off as prime real estate. It was a gag‐filled, uproarious show that changed each night as the brothers improvised and clowned their way through the thin plot. The only song from Berlin's score to find favor was “Always,” yet it was cut before opening. Revivals in regional theatre and in New York in the 1990s have proven that much of the silly show still plays well.
