It is unfortunate that this show is not being held over for at least a few more days so that others will be given the opportunity to participate in the fun generated by Frank Ferrante's performance as Groucho.

I have seen Frank as Groucho once before and had to take my parents, they loved the show! Frank is Groucho, even Groucho's son thought so when Frank tried out for the part. His show is great, the best part being the audience participation. He excels in this arena with his quick wit. No one in the audience is safe but it proves to be quite entertaining. I highly recommend this show, it is a hoot.

My wife and I really enjoyed this show! Reportedly Frank has played Groucho so long that he has become this movie character in persona and personality. A very funny comedian on his own right, Frank can improvise and banter with anyone in the audience without prior material. Watching him perform was almost like watching the real Groucho in his heyday!
