The Ritz

Word of Mouth Reviews: "Terrence McNally's madcap farce about Gaetano Proclo, a man who hides out in a gay bathhouse to escape a mobster with designs on his life, first appeared on Broadway in 1975 and was then made into a feature film. Now the Roundabout Theater Company and Tony-winning director Joe Mantello give this comedy a fresh look with a sexy cast, led by Tony nominee Kevin Chamberlin and movie star Rosie Perez. We sent three of our panelists to check out the revival. Now, find out what they thought!"

Watching these word of mouth reviews are kinda fun. Having not known the story of the Ritz prior to watching these three 'average Joe' critiques, it solididied my idea that theatrical experiences are different for everyone.

The three people each liked the show in various degress. However, the differing opionions on the comic timing within The Ritz just go to show that Everyone is a Critic, and that you cant always trust someones critique 100%.
