This chaotic spoof of the Florida land boom of the 1920s introduced these performing anarchists to the rest of the world. Groucho, Chico, and Harpo trot out their exhilarating comic dementia and clowning resulting in a hilarious, joyful laugh-fest that does everything musicals are supposed to do. This exceptional score by Irving Berlin features such classics as: "Shaking the Blues Away;" "Always;" "Blue Skies;" and "How Deep is the Ocean."Tickets go on sale to Subscribers on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.Tickets go on sale to the General Public on Tuesday, September 2, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.
