Wilson Chapman editorAfter 35 years and over 3,000 performances, storied live show “An Evening With Groucho Marx” is hitting the small screen for the first time.
Starting April 1, “Frank Ferrante’s Groucho,” a filmed version of the long-running stage show, will air on public televisions stations across the country, with airings planned in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis and more. “Frank Ferrante’s Groucho” stars Frank Ferrante as famed comedian and film icon Groucho Marx, in a two-act, 90-minute interactive comedy.
During the show Ferrante recreates many of Marx’s most famous characters, plays famous songs from Marx Brothers films such as “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady” and “Hooray For Captain Spaulding” and invites his audience to participate in an ad-libbed section of the performance. “An Evening With Groucho” began as Ferrante’s senior project as a student at University of Southern California in 1985.
The project was viewed by Groucho Marx’s son Arthur Marx, who cast Ferrante as his father in “Groucho: A Life in Revue” a year later.
