Kate Baldwin would be divine.

I thought the City Center production was okay with lots of room for improvement. I didn't love Levy, Donnell, or Nichols. I don't have incredibly high expectations for this production, but I hope Lear & David Rockwell & co. further realize it as a full production.

Baldwin would be my number one pick for Mother. IMO the best voice on Broadway and she deserves a lead role like this."

I want to live in this reality. Caissie is great but she was miscast and wasn't able to show character growth. And I would love a stronger Sarah as well. Is Joaquina still busy?

Baldwin is one of my favorite Broadway voices, as well, and it’s really a shame she has yet to have that big, undeniable star role fully materialize.

Why?  So he can show up for maybe 2-3 performances a week?  His past attendance has sucked.

I'd love to see a new Sarah, i thought Nichelle was the weak link, sadly. But Caissie Levy was fantastic, and had particularly natural chemistry with both BLR and Henry. It was the scenes with Colin Donnell that didnt work...

I wonder if his Camelot attendance was affected by side effects of long-term covid. He didn’t have any attendance issues prior to the pandemic. He is, obviously, still a remarkably talented performer; I hope his health issues have subsided.

Yes, it's all I can think about right now. Lincoln Center adores Jordan, so that should be up next after Ragtime! :) And Jordan always had excellent attendance with the exception of Camelot due to the slope of the stage, which created major back problems for him. I saw him at The Muny last year and he sounded stunning.

Untrue.  He missed quite a few performances of MY FAIR LADY, as well as nearly the entire 2-week City Center run of INTO THE WOODS.

omg, he literally had covid! what did you expect him to do? People like you insisting performers must show up for every single performance is so asinine.

Calm down, dear.  No one is saying he didn't have legitimate reasons for being out.  We're just talking about his attendance in the show.  If it makes you feel better to place an asterisk there, by all means please do.

"We" are not just talking about his attendance. You are. Unfortunately.

Looks like Telecharge just put up a test page for LCT’s ragtime!

The test page for "Ragtime" isn't there anymore.

I wonder if they’re replacing Colin Donnell.

I’m really hoping Ben Levi Ross returns, I thought he was so fantastic.

Ross was great.

Hoping for a new Sarah (Originally cast Joy Woods?) and Father (the weakest link). Nichelle Lewis was capable enough as Sarah but felt very young to Henry's Colehouse.   He could be her Dad with a 20+ year age difference.   Lewis and Woods are the same age.  Woods reads older  & has ability play older with her experience.  More depth with some drama to the voice, with less pop styling, could fit better opposite Henry's stellar vocals.

I wonder if the rumored London run of Gatsby would get in the way.

So excited for this production!!

I have a question regarding LincTix: Hypothetically speaking, could I use my membership (I'm 29 this month, just signed up) to purchase the 2 ticket limit, and add on a third at full price, with the 3 seats together? (The other 2 people would be out of the age limit, but the transaction would be under my name/account).

If it’s an issue just purchase the extra seat in a separate transaction.

or Joaquina Kalukango? Wasn’t she supposed to replace Joy Woods but also had scheduling conflicts and they ended up casting Nichelle Lewis?

I'm considering an LCT membership to get good priority seats to this revival. Does anyone know if there's a limit on how many performances a member can attend at the member price? I know it's one ticket per member per performance, but does that mean that I would have to pay full price the next time I attend?

I tried to call and ask, but was on hold too long and gave up. Thanks!
