A Day in Hollywood / A Night in the Ukraine

Recently Updated

"A Day in Hollywood / A Night in the Ukraine" is a two-act musical that first premiered on Broadway in 1980. The show is essentially two separate musicals, with the first act, "A Day in Hollywood," consisting of a series of musical numbers that pay tribute to the golden age of Hollywood musicals, while the second act, "A Night in the Ukraine," is a Marx Brothers-inspired farce.

In "A Day in Hollywood," the performers portray various archetypal Hollywood characters, such as aspiring starlets, glamorous movie stars, and eccentric directors, and perform a series of musical numbers that celebrate the glitz and glamour of Hollywood's golden age. Some of the most memorable songs from this act include "The Moon Is a Silver Dollar," "Triplets," and "The Girl Friend of the Whirling Dervish."

In "A Night in the Ukraine," the action shifts to a parody of classic Marx Brothers films, with characters such as Groucho, Chico, and Harpo engaging in a series of hilarious hijinks and musical numbers. Some of the most memorable songs from this act include "Life Upon the Wicked Stage," "Satin and Silk," and "I Love a Film Cliche."

The show was a critical and commercial success, earning several Tony Award nominations and winning the award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for its portrayal of Groucho Marx by actor Robert Morse. "A Day in Hollywood / A Night in the Ukraine" has since become a beloved cult classic and is frequently performed in regional and community theaters around the world.
