A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine Book and Lyrics by Dick Vosburgh Music by Frank Lazarus Featuring the great music from the heyday of Hollywood
|



Act I—A DAY IN HOLLYWOOD takes place in the lobby of the Grauman‘s
Chinese Theatre of the ‘30s where six ushers pay tribute to the heyday of
Hollywood. “Thanks for the Memory,” “Too Marvelous for Words,” “Sleepy
Time Gal,” and a tapped rendition of the actual 1930s Hollywood
Production Code that rivals any number in Stomp or Riverdance, are just a
few of the numbers that will have your audiences cheer “Hooray for
Hollywood!”
Act II— A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE is the funniest Marx Brothers movie they
never made. Based on The Bear by Anton Chekov (Russia‘s top gag writer),
A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE takes place in the mansion of Madame Pavlenko,
a wealthy Ukrainian widow, prior to the Revolution. Your audiences will be
in stitches as they witness the antics of Serge B. Samovar (Groucho), a
shyster lawyer who professes his love for Madame Pavlenko (Margaret
Dumont) ...well… it‘s true...he does love her money! Madame Pavlenko‘s
faithful servants Carlo (Chico) and Gino (Harpo) come to her aid as they try
to rid the mansion of Samovar, and every now and then, throw in a couple
of potshots at Madame Pavlenko‘s expense.
Nominated for nine Tony Awards (including Best Musical) & winner of two,
A DAY IN HOLLYWOOD/A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE is filled with great music,
amazing dancing and side-splitting comedy.
