Hey, I should remind everyone in the L.A. area that tickets are still available for Frank Ferrante's run with his Groucho show at the Pasadena Playhouse, January 9-10. We in this area don't often get to see him perform his wonderful performance.
Usually, he tours America (and has a run in Australia ahead) and he ventures nowhere near where I dwell. Anyway, if you've never seen Frank, here's how it works. You go see his show. He comes out as Frank Ferrante and tells you of his love of Groucho Marx. As he tells you, he applies make-up and right before your eyes, the Italian kid disappears and you're staring at The One, The Only…
You blink and there he is, cavorting on stage and bringing one of the world's great comic talents back from the hereafter for 90 minutes of Marx Madness. I've never been fond of impersonator shows but this one works. If you can get to Pasadena when he's there, you'll see how well.
