“I am very excited for our grand finale with one of the funniest stage performers I’ve had the pleasure to present,” said Ron Jewell, Vice President of Halloran Centre Operations. “In keeping with Marx’s wild persona and warp-speed comedic wit, Frank Ferrante IS Groucho!”

Dubbed “nothing short of masterful” by the Chicago Tribune, award-winning actor Frank Ferrante brings his acclaimed stage portrayal of the legendary comedian to Memphis in this fast paced 90 minutes of hilarity. The two-act comedy consists of the best Groucho one-liners, anecdotes, and songs including “Hooray for Captain Spalding” and “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.” The audience literally becomes part of the show as he ad-libs his way throughout the performance in grand Groucho style. A show perfect for all ages! See the live show that is currently airing nationally on PBS.
