The Ritz is a play by
Terrence McNally. Actress
Rita Moreno won a
Tony Award for her performance as Googie Gomez in
the 1975 Broadway production, which she and many others
of the original cast reprised in a 1976 film version
directed by
Richard Lester. The
farce is set in a
gay bathhouse in
Manhattan, where unsuspecting
heterosexual
Cleveland businessman Gaetano Proclo has taken
refuge from his
homicidal
mobster brother-in-law, Carmine Vespucci. There
Gaetano stumbles across an assortment of oddball
characters, including a rabid
chubby chaser,
go-go boys, a squeaky-voiced
detective, and Googie Gomez, a third-rate
Puerto Rican entertainer with visions of
Broadway glory who mistakes him for a famous
producer and whom he mistakes for a man in
drag. Further complications arise when Gaetano's
wife Vivian tracks him down and jumps to all the wrong
conclusions about his sexual preferences. |
