Has anyone hard anything about this production? I'm thinking about a DC vacation and if this is going to be worth seeing I might as well time it to be there then...but have heard nothing about cast or anything but dates. Anyone else?

Joe, I live in DC and the only thing the Kennedy Center has listed are the dates of this production. They don't skimp on productions there (especially with musicians), so I'm really looking forward to this one.

My friend is in the tour of SEUSSICAL right now and it was directed by the same woman who will be directing the RAGTIME production; it's supposed to be new design, staging, etc and her SEUSSICAL was pretty damn good, friend in the cast or not.

I have never seen a Kennedy Center production that was poorly done. I am SO excited about this!

Me either, Miss P.

I saw Ragtime years ago, but it was either at the Warner or National. I can't remember.

That's what I thought but I was just worried- it's only a few months away and I've heard nothing.

And of course Dc has plenty to offer even if this production wasn't planned!

Auditions were JUST held today in DC. I doubt a cast will be announced quite yet.

Sounds exciting! Any big names for the cast?

and what a perfect time/year to open a musical in DC, just down the road from the White House! :)

That absolutely better than the original production was done at The National.
