Groucho Marx — with his rolling eyes, greasepaint mustache and waggling cigar — is one of the most recognizable comedians in American popular culture. More than three decades after his death, Marx has countless impersonators, but Frank Ferrante is tops. The award-winning actor, director and playwright will recreate his PBS/New York/London acclaimed portrayal of Marx in a one-night engagement, An Evening with Groucho. The two-act comedy consists of some of Marx’s best one-liners, anecdotes and songs plus some adlibbing by Ferrante.
