I agree.ENTERTAINMENT Rumbling, T UMBLING Brothers T he Gymma Brothers have been rumbling and tumbling around Europe and the United States for four generations. Now, featuring a fifth generation, the group is rolling out the laughs in Jerry Jackson?╟╓s newest production, ?╟úHitz,?╟Ñ at the Hacienda. Originally titled the Fratellinis, after the family name which means ?╟ little brother?╟╓ in Italian, the group?╟╓s founder was a pharmacist who changed professions in order to win the heart of a showgirl. As a clown, he succeeded both in love and on the stage and his success was passed down to his sons, his son?╟╓s sons, and even his son?╟╓s great grandson. Today, as the Gymma Brothers, the clowning around is still a popular novelty attraction and they are adding the Hacienda to a long list of grand stage appearance throughout Europe and in most of the major Las Vegas productions. Gino Fratellino with his son Bobby and partner Mike are carrying on the family tradition of comical acrobatics twice nightly except Monday in the Fiesta Theater. ?╟úHitz?╟Ñ is a fast-moving music and dance production featuring the top tunes of the 1980s.
