So my brother (The one with Red Hair) is an actor and he is in this show "Hooray for What" at the Medicine Theater in Manhattan. It is a revival of a 1937 anti-war musical. It was quite funny but the show was very long and dated. We still had a great time watching him on stage. The best part of the show was my brother. Of course I am a bit partial but check out his reviews.
As the comic centerpiece of the oddball scientist, Mike Lesser works very hard and it pays off. He turns in a very high-energy, savvy, madcap comedy pro performance that is the show’s saving grace and more. He’s terrific. His nutty Marx Brothers style of performance, his wild look, his excellent timing and rubber face are pure daffy delight.
With a shock of Brillo-textured red hair, a chirpy, nasal voice and a sunny face as comically expressive as Harpo Marx, Mike Lesser turns in a rip-roaring performance as Chuckles without a whiff of Ed Wynn. He's especially funny when reacting to the audience's lack of response on occasions when dated jokes about forgotten subjects fly over everyone's head.
Mike, we are so proud of you keep up the great work.

Congrats to Mike. It look like a fun show. I can tell you're proud.
Dated? Seems as though we could use an anti-war musical today! Please congratulate Groucho Mike!
I bet he is really great!
Wow, Eileen. Kudos to Michael! It's great that he's doing so well.
