a closer look: The Live Three Stooges Show at MGM Grand Adventures

On KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #141: Marathon Men Dana talks of seeing the Live Three Stooges Show at MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park in Las Vegas.

Dana mentioned that the show starred Moe Howard's grandson, Jeffrey Scott, and featured piped in sound effects.

He said the show he saw was a reenactment of the 1946 Three Stooges short A Bird in the Head.

In the short Moe, Larry and Curly play wallpaper hangers that end up involved with a mad scientist who wants to transplant Curly's brain into a gorilla.

Jeffery Scott, a successful writer and grandson of Moe, produced the show and starred as Moe in the Magic Screen Theater.


The theme park was adjacent to the MGM Grand Hotel and was open from 1993 to 2000.

The original Three Stooges short A Bird in the Head is on youtube in two parts:
