Tony Zanetta moved to New York in the late 1960s, “to be a gay boy” as he puts it. He quickly became part of the downtown theatre scene, alongside performers like Jackie Curtis and Candy Darling. This episode is a fast paced dive into 1970s New York with Tony discussing the overlap of the art and theatre worlds at that time.
