HAIL FREEDONIA: Groucho Marx comes alive on stage at 3Below, mustache, eyebrows, cigar and all.

Hailed by the New York Times as the “greatest living interpreter of Groucho Marx’s material,” Frank Ferrante portrays the young Groucho of stage and film, while reacquainting the audience with brothers Harpo and Chico as well as the much-maligned Zeppo and the rarely seen Gummo. Ferrante also invokes his peers Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields, Greta Garbo and Margaret Dumont, who was Groucho’s comic foil in many movies. In addition to Groucho’s comic timing, Ferrante also has his song-and-dance patter down; the show features songs like “Hooray for Captain Spaulding” and “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.” Audiences should come prepared for some “You Bet Your Life”-style interaction.
