Longtime readers of this blog are sick of me plugging my pal Frank Ferrante, who tours in his stunning re-creation of You-Know-Who called An Evening With Groucho. It's Frank and his highly-talented, long-suffering pianist Jim Furmston on a stage for close to two hours…and by the time Frank sings "Lydia the Tattooed Lady," you will long since have forgotten that you're not seeing the one, the only Groucho miraculously back among the living. The guy is really that good.
When he played in Southern California recently, I promoted it and told you it was the last time you'd be able to see him in these parts for a year or more. Well, I lied. Or more accurately, plans changed. Frank will be doing one performance the evening of Saturday, July 27 at the Pasadena Playhouse, which should be an ideal venue for his show. I dunno if I'll be able to make it but if you can, you should. Details and tickets are to be found on this page. Highly, as always, recommended.
