In the 1970's there was a Broadway musical entitled "Minnie's Boys." Her name was Minnie Schoenberg, and her sons' names were Leonard, Adolph, Julius, Milton, and Herbert. By what collective name were her sons bettter known?

The 1970 Broadway musical "Minnie's Boys" tells the story of Minnie Schoenberg Marx and her famous sons. While their given names were Leonard, Adolph, Julius, Milton, and Herbert, the world would come to know them by their collective stage name, the Marx Brothers. They were a highly successful American comedy team, renowned for their work in vaudeville, on Broadway, and in films. The five brothers who performed together under this name were Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo, and Zeppo.

Minnie Marx, who came from a family of performers, was the ambitious and driving force behind her sons' entry into show business. Acting as their manager under the professional name Minnie Palmer, she guided their early careers and was instrumental in their eventual success. She encouraged them to form an act, which started as a singing group before evolving into the comedy troupe that gained them fame.

The brothers' famous individual stage names were reportedly given to them by a fellow vaudeville performer during a poker game. Julius became Groucho due to his moody disposition, Adolph became Harpo because he played the harp, and Leonard became Chico for his pursuit of women (or "chicks"). Milton was dubbed Gummo because he often wore rubber-soled gumshoes, and Herbert, the last to join the act, was named Zeppo. Though Gummo and Zeppo eventually left the act to pursue other careers, the core trio of Groucho, Chico, and Harpo cemented the legendary status of the Marx Brothers in entertainment history.
