I caught this tonight and found it to be a pretty messy evening. The production has one thing going for it, though… the performances are truly top notch.
The vocals are absolutely flawless, and the score sounds magnificent. It’s a treat to hear this score performed so well. Michele, Christopher, and Tveit all knock their songs right out of the park. Zero complaints there.
Unfortunately, that’s where my praise ends. The direction is absolutely abysmal and just

As someone who enjoyed the show, I am extremely disappointed to hear about the diary bit being cut. That was a crucial moment in showing Jackie's true character.

Samantha Barks sang the hell out of Florence in the 2022 concert in London... I know she's booked with Greatest Showman now, but I've always loved her, and it would be great to have her back on Broadway again at some point. Hard to believe her only Broadway credit to date is Pretty Woman!

Also, having Kristin framed not once but twice under the blade of a literal guillotine felt like a pretty obvious moment of this message. And also the scene where they graphically shoot the royal court of France/Marie Antoinette downstage as the completed mansion is revealed upstage.

I won't be seeing this for a couple more weeks, but I am so excited! Looking forward to hearing reports from those going in early previews.

It was 2 hours and 50 minutes on Saturday night.

I went into last night’s performance skeptical after reading the Boston reviews and the early Broadway preview reports this week. Maybe that worked in my favor, because I genuinely and unabashedly had a great time at this show.
The presentation and handling of the material are impressively sharp. These people are greedy and clueless, and the show doesn’t shy away from that. Their absurd, over-the-top lives are on full display in all their “glory.” The c

I saw this the first go round in previews at the Winter Garden and honestly found it to be the most grating and headache-inducing show I've ever sat through.
That being said, the show has a devout fanbase. Curious to see how this will fare on round 3 on Broadway.

Sounds like something perhaps worth checking out via rush, lottery, or comp (if you're lucky enough)."
Exactly this. The rush price I paid was worth it, but I'm certainly glad I didn't pay more than $50.

I’ll preface this post by admitting that I am a diehard fan of Ragtime. I truly believe it is the textbook definition of a perfectly crafted musical in terms of the score, book, and overall structure. For me, it is a perfect show.
I saw this at City Center last year and really loved it. What’s onstage at the Beaumont now is definitely a full-fledged production. This is not just a jazzed up remount of the Encores! staging like we saw with Into the Woods and Once Upon A Mattr

I caught this recently and echo Jordan's thoughts. I liked it just fine, but it didn't really move me one way or the other. Great performances all around (Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have great chemistry), and I loved the funnel set and the lighting. There's a really cool, albeit simple, visual effect, towards the end of act 1 that I thought was quite beautiful. As is always the case with Jamie Lloyd's productions, the sound design is exquisite.

This was a giant "shrug" for me. As others have mentioned, it's very narration-heavy which was detrimental to my enjoyment and engagement. I just could not get invested in the characters or story. Very reminiscent of a Lifetime movie, and I saw the ending coming from a mile away. This is one of those plays someone may bring up in a couple years and I will struggle to remember anything about it.
