“An Evening with Groucho”: Why a duck and why not an evening with Groucho Marx?
This two-act comedy is presented by the funny Frank Ferrante, who portrays an impeccable Groucho and who has recently been in Seattle’s Teatro ZinZanni as the hilarious Chef Caesar in “A Rosa de Rio.”
For his Groucho, Ferrante highlights one-liners, unleashes anecdotes and songs and ad libs his way through this comedic icon’s life while reacquainting us with Groucho’s gang of greats, including brothers Gummo, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo. Pianist Jim Furmston accompanies Ferrante.
