You’re invited to check into Suite 904 of the Empire Hotel, where penniless Broadway producer and gifted con man Gordon Miller is desperately trying to raise the cash needed to avoid having his cast and crew (in rehearsal for his next production) evicted and the entire show shut down. Armed with a nonstop load of double-talk, Gordon does battle with a bullying hotel executive, a pompous physician, a determined collection agency clerk and a paranoid attorney to ensure that the show must go on! The laughs don’t stop coming in this deliciously delirious and delectable show biz comedy that became an acclaimed Marx Brothers movie.
