Triple Broadway Week
While in New York City last week to witness our daughter getting her Master’s Degree, we went to see three Broadway shows. Here are my mini-reviews.
Frank Ferrante’s Groucho
As a longtime Marxist, I was thrilled to finally get to see Frank Ferrante’s one-man show about Groucho Marx, which I’d heard so much about from my friend Mark Evanier. Here’s my review.

POTD: “America’s Sexiest Couple”
