PipingHotPiccolo said: "this was bafflingly bad. i mean, truly one of the most amateur productions ive seen on a professional stage in NY.

the humor was cringe, and the very capable actresses were undermined by a truly mystifying story--both leads were impossible to identify with, let alone root for. One was a corporate monster who does objectively horrible things to her colleagues and the other is caricature of an ignorant progressive from a Republican Congressman's f

could it be possible Christopher Ashley is taking The Heart to Roundabout?"

There have been so many Fiddler productions in New York over the years. I personally never need to see it again.  I don’t know much about this production though

This has been said over and over on this board by numerous posters. The original Ragtime was almost 30 years ago. I'll bet most of today's audience never saw the original.This is a new Ragtime for a new generation. Levy is giving a great performance. Appreciating Levy's performance doesn't diminish anything that came before."

Substitute any ethnic group for the word Jewish and see how that sounds 

I saw this last night and while I thought Cole was extraordinary I did t think this lived up to the hype. There were some very funny lines, but otherwise…I guess I found it dull until the last 15 minutes.

“Attended the show for the last time tonight. A few scenes were much more emotional (for the cast) than I’d seen previously but worked so beautifully. The way Susannah held onto Betsy’s legs in that last scene was heartbreaking. And each time I see it I’m convinced that while everyone in that cast is Tony Award worthy, my two favorite performances (besides Susannah Flood who must take home Leading Actress) are Irene Sofia Lucio and Kayla Davion. But everyone

My point is just the white savior stuff also comes off as gross on a first watch."

I feel like even Ragtime diehard fans (like myself) can agree the show could use some trimming and script adjustments. I wonder if Ahrens a

THDavis said: "It may seem“community theatre” at first blush, but why does a human never come out to address the audience before a show? “Welcome, no cell phones, no pictures, no singing along - please be considerate to your other patrons and performers.”


A human generally holds more gravity than a pre-recorded announcement that most people disregard like an airline safety video."

I suspect that the production may not want to
