A DAY IN HOLLYWOOD,
A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE
A Day in Hollywood, A Night in the Ukraine is
a musical comedy
consisting of two essentially independent one-act plays, with a book
and lyrics by Dick Vosburgh and music by Frank Lazarus. It was first
performed in 1979.
The first act, A Day in Hollywood,
is a revue of classic Hollywood songs of the 1930s
performed by singers and dancers representing ushers from Grauman's
Chinese Theatre. The
second, A Night in the Ukraine, is loosely based on
Anton Chekhov's
one-act play The Bear, and is presented in the
style of a Marx Brothers
movie.
The most recent appearance was in March 2009 at Playcrafters
of
Skippack in Pennsylvania. That performance featured a cast of
Bruce Bogdanoff, David Cox,
Dennis Christoferetti,
Rachel Daly, Cassandra Hogan, Nancy Kadwill, Alicia Landis, Amelia
Martin, Ginny Pickles and Curt Lippe as the Groucho character. In the
summer of 2003, Lippe appeared as Captain Spaulding
when the Actors
Net of Bucks County in Morrisville,
Pennsylvania, presented Animal
Crackers.
