Has anyone heard any buzz about who some of the replacements may be?
They're re-casting the roles of Tateh, Sarah, Emma Goldman, Evelyn Nesbit, The Little Boy, and The Little Girl for the Broadway run.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 7/1/09 at 4:01pmI'm very excited for this production, first because I love the show, but second because I have heard such wonderful things about the concept in it. Can't wait!

I"M SO EXCITED! I saw the original production, but I don't remember it very well, so I can't wait to see it again.
Is Manoel Felciano continuing with the production?

I like how many people think shows like "Jekyll & HYDE" and "SUNSET BLVD.," not to mention we can't even get a revival of EVITA, but if it's Ragtime it's OK. Can't say I was a fan of the show the first time around, but I've read the book by now and wouldn't mind seeing it...!
Which part was Jill Paice? She was in this with Ron Bohmer right?? .. Bohmer again at the Neil Simon, I imagine he's good in this? (The Scarlet Pimpernel SP 3.0!)

Ragtime is an infinitely better show than any of the ones you mentioned.

Posted: 7/1/09 at 4:56pmI am super stoked. This is an open-ended run correct?
#34re: RAGTIME to Begin Previews October 23rd at The Neil Simon
Posted: 7/1/09 at 5:05pmNothing released has suggested it would be a limited run.

Posted: 7/1/09 at 5:44pmIt won four Tonys the last time around - book, score, featured actress and orchestrations. Not like it got blanked.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Posted: 7/1/09 at 5:46pmI hope they can keep the scale of the set in tact, the scaffolding was really cool at the Kennedy Center! And I hope a majority of the cast is kept.

Posted: 7/1/09 at 6:47pmNoll will transfer with it. The only roles they're re-casting are the children, Sarah, Tateh, Emma Goldman, and Evelynn Nesbitt.

Posted: 7/1/09 at 8:07pmWhat is Leigh Ann Larkin going to be doing this fall? I really liked her Evelyn Nesbit.

Posted: 7/1/09 at 8:08pmIt has been implied (all but confirmed) that she will be Petra in the revival of A Little Night Music.

I'm pretty sure Christiane is staying with the show.
I'm curious to see who they are getting for Tateh, Sarah and Emma Goldman. Hope they are interesting choices.

Posted: 7/1/09 at 8:11pmonedaymore, you just made me think of Audra singing "Your Daddy's Son" and I got chills. Oh, how I wish I could see Audra as Sarah again.

Posted: 7/1/09 at 8:26pmI never saw the show considering that I was too young to actually enjoy it when it came out having only been eight at the time. But, I LOVE the music and it was a show that I have wished I could see for a while. I am very happy that this is going to start previews the day before my birthday. I think that based upon what I have heard about this production, I am not going to be disappointed in having this be my birthday gift.

I'm pretty sure Leigh Ann Larkin will be transferring with THIS production, and not taking a role in NIGHT MUSIC.
From her facebook: Leigh Ann Larkin: Neil Simon!!!! Ragtime on Broadway 2009!! Holla!!!
someone writes: Congrats!!! I am so excited for this!
Larkin: Thanks!!! Me too!!!
