Terrence
McNally's The Ritz returns to Broadway this fall

Terrence McNally, who already has had two new plays done in New York this year (Deuce and Some Men), will get a Broadway revival this fall of an earlier effort.

The Ritz, first seen on Broadway in 1975, will be revived by the Roundabout Theatre Company. It will star Rosie Perez and Kevin Chamberlin. The play, a farce about a man (Chamberlin) hiding out from the mob in a gay bathhouse, opens October 11 at the Roundabout's Studio 54. Perez will portray Googie Gomez, an entertainer in the bathhouse. Joe Mantello directs. Preview performances begin September 14.

Another Roundabout production, a revival of Pygmalion, was scheduled to open October 11 at the nonprofit theater's American Airlines Theatre. That date has been changed to October 18.
