This two-act revue offers a double feature of theatrical entertainment. The first act is a loving tribute to the golden age of Hollywood musicals, performed by ushers at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The second act is a wild Marx Brothers-style adaptation of Chekhov's The Bear, set in the Ukraine, with performers channeling Groucho, Harpo, and Chico in a madcap farce.
