Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Top Marx

It takes more than greasepaint to pull off a Groucho Marx impression. The late, great comic — one of history’s most memorable — may be immediately recognizable by the hefty brows and ’stache he first slapped on during his vaudeville days, but it was his rapid-fire humor that was hard to beat. It’s tough to re-create, too, but award-winning actor Frank Ferrante channels the legend in a 90-minute biographical comedy packed with one-liners and physical shtick. “Every silly flutter, every goosy undulation, every frantic leap is an ode to the ridiculous,” writes the Phoenix New Times.
