Sierra Madre Playhouse presents “An Evening With Groucho,” starring Frank Ferrante for one night only, on Sunday, December 4, 2016, 7:00 p.m. Award-winning actor/director/playwright Frank Ferrante recreates his PBS, New York and London acclaimed portrayal of legendary comedian Groucho Marx in this fast paced 90 minutes of hilarity. The two-act comedy consists of the best Groucho one-liners, anecdotes and songs including “Hooray For Captain Spalding,” and “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.” The audience literally becomes part of the show as Ferrante ad-libs his way throughout the performance in grand Groucho style.
Accompanied by his onstage pianist, Ferrante portrays the young Groucho of stage and film and reacquaints us with the likes of brothers Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo, Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields, Greta Garbo, Marx foil, Margaret Dumont and MGM’s Louis B. Mayer. A show perfect for all ages!
Frank Ferrante IS Groucho in this spot-on tribute to one of the funniest and most recognizable characters in the world. Since his high school days just down the street at LaSalle, Frank’s Groucho has thrilled audiences around the world. The Chicago Tribune has called it “Nothing short of Masterful…” And now, you can catch the show at Sierra Madre Playhouse!
