As portrayed by the extraordinary Valerie Harper, Marjorie is a woman we all know, brought to hilarious life in a way we've never seen. The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife is Broadway’s funniest new play; a Tony-nominated smash hit which has been called "an uproarious comedy" (The New York Times), and "irresistibly hilarious" (The Daily News).

Four-time Emmy winner Valerie Harper first achieved fame as Rhoda Morgenstern on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and her spin-off series "Rhoda".

During her nine years as the character "Rhoda", she was also honored with a Golden Globe Award, Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year Award, Hollywood Women's Press Club "Golden Apple" Award, and a Photoplay Gold Medal Award. In 2000 Valerie reprised the role of Rhoda Morgenstern along with Mary Tyler Moore for an ABC television movie titled "Mary and Rhoda", which drew in more than 17 million viewers. In 1987 she was seen as "Valerie Hogan" in the then titled NBC series "Valerie" and starred in the 1990 CBS series "City" and in the 1994 CBS series "The Office."

Born in Suffern, New York, Valerie Harper attended Hunter College and the New School for Social Research, both in New York City. Her stage career began at New York's Radio City Music Hall as a member of the corps de ballet. While performing on Broadway in Li'l Abner, Take Me Along with Jackie Gleason, Wildcat with Lucille Ball and Subways Are For Sleeping with Orson Bean and Carol Lawrence, Valerie studied acting. Her teachers included Mary Tarcai, John Cassavetes, and William Hickey. She started working with Viola Spolin, the creator of Theatre Games, and her son, Director Paul Sills, who created and directed the famed Second City. That led to appearances in nightclubs (Cellar Door, Village Gate), summer stock (Neil Simon's Come Blow Your Horn) and regional theatre (Seattle Repertory Company). Valerie's later Broadway credits include Carl Reiner's Something Different, Paul Sills' production of Ovid's Metamorphosis, as well as Sills' Tony Award-winning Story Theatre.

Over the years Valerie has continued to work in the theatre. In 1983 she toured Florida with Zev Bufman's production of Agnes of God in the role of the psychiatrist. She co-wrote "All Under Heaven" a play based upon the life of Pulitzer Prize winning author Pearl S. Buck and has taken this play to New York, Virginia, Florida and in 2000 to Los Angeles. In 1996 she starred in the New York production of Death Defying Acts by Elaine May and Woody Allen. She appeared in the original production of Story Theatre in Los Angeles at the Mark Taper Forum that later went to Broadway, as well as played L.A.'s James Doolittle Theatre and toured with Anthony Zerbe in Dear Liar (a lifetime of letters between George Bernard Shaw and the actress, Mrs. Patrick Campbell).
