"SWIMMING AT THE RITZ"-Long Branch New Jersey-Highly recommended

Posted by: NJGUY 09:04 am EST 01/20/15

Saw this two-hander over the weekend. Life story of Pamela Harriman as she recounts her liaisons and life history. The leads are excellent. Two acts; clocks in at 2 hours.

Had never been to this equity theater. I am still figuring out how they don't lose money with only 70 seats and five performances a week.

Others appear to agree with the OP. The TalkinBroadway reviewer wrote:

"The sumptuous Judith Hawking, bearing a striking resemblance to the widow Harriman, delivers a stunning and vivacious performance in the role...Christopher Daftsios is delightfully amusing as Pietro…

New Jersey Rep and director SuzAnne Barabas have given us a grand production boasting maximum style and flair. Her exceptional direction is enabled and abetted by her ideal casting and the top notch work of her design team. "

Another critic wrote: "A hit…a vibrant and totally captivating play."

Links to the reviews can be read via the play's website.

It is quite good. Theater seats 70 so you feel as if you are listening in on her conversations.
