Special Offer: DIAMOND AS BIG AS THE RITZ at ATA Sargent Theatre

Kick off the 2024-25 off-off-Broadway theater season with the new musical-comedy, The Diamond as Big as the Ritz, () Sept 13-29. Based on the early 1920s F. Scott Fitzgerald comic novella of the same name, The Diamond as Big as the Ritz, is told through the eyes of young couple seeking to immigrate to the U.S. as they imagine Fitzgerald’s characters appearing before them on stage. The story resonates today with its themes about protecting riches, comporting with upper class and perverting the American dream to reach impossible goals.

Veteran director and Broadway actor John Hickok directs a cast of five that includes Ethan Yaheen-Moy Chan, Johana Gracia Lara, Megan Lomax, Bobby Barksdale and Richard Rowan. The Diamond as Big as The Ritz features music and lyrics by Seth Bisen-Hersh and book and additional lyrics by R.C. Staab.

You can hear the entire cast album on here or listen to it on . A song from the show, “Enough Already” was nominated for England’s Best New Song competition for musical theater. See the video with an all-star cast including Daphne Ruben-Vega and introduced by Mario Lopez.​
