A man walks into a bathhouse...now there's an angle to an old classic we hadn't heard before! And New Theatre's The Ritz is nothing but twists on classics in this madcap tale of a man on the run from his murderous brother-in-law who accidentally hides out in a 1970s gay sauna thinking it's a swanky hotel! Hilarity seems bound to ensue, but even I was surprised by how much of a hoot this In-&-Out-meets-Boogie-Nights show would be. In 1975, The Ritz was playwright Terrence McNally's Broadway debut and was so acclaimed a film version was produced within a year. The Ritz has become a cult film for the gay community but is loved by all audiences for its progressive approaches to gay culture, fetishes and homophobia. The story was inspired by real New York sauna, The Continental, that was visited by people of all sexual persuasions and celebrities looking to meet the artsy and fartsy.
