Adding a "Greek chorus" feel to a play makes it very dramatic and theatrical, which this play is at some points. I think it's also just a nice breath of fresh air. It brings plays back to their roots, which is to tell a story and entertain.  It keeps the audience interested, and interest makes a person remember. Having a chorus describe characters could help audience members learn these characters and remember their traits, rather than latch on to a certain character and try to envision their own traits upon that character. It's just a way of keeping the true essence of a character grounded.
