An Evening with Groucho at Surflight Theatre
Dubbed “nothing short of masterful” by the Chicago Tribune, award-winning actor Frank
Ferrante recreates his PBS, New York and London acclaimed stage portrayal of legendary
comedian 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 and Marx foil Margaret Dumont. A show perfect
for all ages!
