Discovered at USC by Arthur Marx (the playwright son of Groucho Marx), Frank Ferrante has had the pleasure of performing as Groucho Marx in the productions of “Groucho: A Life In Revue” and “An Evening With Groucho.” He’s performed on stages from all around the United States to the United Kingdom to Australia. He has also performed in the role of The Caesar in “Teatro Zinzanni,” a physically demanding character in a mostly improvisational production with dancers and aerialists. I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Ferrante perform in Freeport, NY in the spring of 2014 with my family. He was both amazing and gracious. He is ready to roll out a filmed version of “An Evening With Groucho” (simply called “Frank Ferrante’s Groucho)” for Public Television Stations in the United States. Directed by Dreya Weber (“The Gymnast,” “The Aerialist,” “A Marine Story,”), this is one of the most anticipated performances ever for PBS stations. Frank was kind enough to sit down for a chat with my self and James “JL” Lillquist (Rat Salad Review, Beyond Bushido) where we discussed his career, his plans, his relationships with members of the golden age of comedy, his friendships with Groucho’s children, and more.
