BWW Reviews: THE RITZ BRINGS BAWDY BROADWAY DOWN UNDER at New Theatre
by Brodie Paparella - February 22, 2016
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.

BWW Review: ALL MY LOVE A GREAT AUSTRALIAN LOVE STORY at Riverside Theatre's Parramatta
by Brodie Paparella - February 18, 2016
What is it about love that captures the artist so wholly and capitalises so perpetually? Why is it that no two things written about love seem to be the same, or have the same resonance, but every new contribution exists as a thrilling dimension to this emotion seemingly essential to human life? In this tale of lasting love, two of Australia's greatest known writers find themselves in the throes of a relationship never meant to be. All My Love is the true story of Henry Lawson, known as Australia's 'greatest short story writer', and radical writer and poetess Mary Gilmore who find a budding relationship in 19th century Sydney. As their secret engagement becomes entangled in a rivalry between their early-feminist mothers, a series of love letters exchanged between them never arrive, and by the time they discover that what was thought to be rejection was nothing more than a cruel twist of fate, it is too late to turn back from their destinies.
