A New Low-Concept Musical!

When William Tecumseh Flywheel, Fiorello Ravelli and Ringling T. Ringling are let loose on an unsuspecting radio station, the airwaves will never be safe for detergent commercials again! It's zany! It's crazy! It's "a night at the radio studio" you'll never forget! And yes, it's The Most Ridiculous Thing You Ever Hoid.

From the uproarious, forgotten annals of the (public domain) Marx Brothers radio show, "Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel," this is a laugh-filled, tune-filled, Marx-filled extravaganza featuring all-new songs! Book by Andy Seiler, Jim Beckerman and Fred Wemyss. Music by Jim Beckerman. Lyrics by Jim Beckerman and Andy Seiler. Based on the radio series by Nat Perrin, Arthur Sheekman, George Oppenheimer and Tom McKnight.
