Enter three down-and-out vaudevillians who hatch a hare-brained scheme to make it big in Tinsel Town. Their plan? To open a voice academy for the witless stars of silent movies. The only things standing in their way are ditzy starlets and power-hungry movie moguls. Starring Ed Asner and directed by Moss Harts son, this is top-of-the-bill screwball comedy and Kaufman and Hart genius at its very best. An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring (in alphabetical order) Caroline Aaron as Helen Hobart/Miss Chasen; Edward Asner as Herman Glogauer; Jen Dede as Susan Walker; Jeanie Hackett as Mrs. Walker/Miss Leighton; David Kaufman as George Lewis; Katharine Leonard as Florabel Leigh/Bridesmaid #2; Joe Liss as The Porter/Ernest/Mr. Flick/Weisskopf/The Bishop; Kellie Matteson as Phyllis Fontaine/Bridesmaid #1; Jon Matthews as Rudolph Kammerling/Fontaine Chauffer/Leading Man; Sarah Rafferty as May Daniels; Jonathan Silverman as Jerry Hyland; Steve Vinovich as Lawrence Vail/Leigh Chauffer/ Meterstein. Directed by Christopher Hart. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, in October 2009. Editorial Reviews: George S. Kaufman and Moss Harts riotous 1930 farce, Once in a Lifetime, concerns a trio of fading, and often bumbling, New York City vaudeville actors who suddenly find themselves behind the times with the advent of the motion picture industry. The team decides to head to California where the action is. There, things go wonderfully wrong and hilarity ensues. This dramatized performance in front of a live audience features the mighty Ed Asner of The Mary Tyler Moore Show fame, and veteran film and stage actors Jonathan Silverman and Caroline Aaron.
