It's interesting to wonder how much longer the original production of Ragtime would have run if not for Garth Drabinsky and his creative book keeping.

Catch Me If You Can and Bonnie and Clyde. Those two shows were fantastic in my opinion. They both had great scores and extremely talented original casts too. I was surprised when they closed, should have run much longer.

I know this, but I feel that there was something special about these shows that deserved to run longer.

I would have to go with Hands on a Hard Body too. If only because they closed with one fewer performance than Scandalous. I saw the 2nd preview and it was a little rough, but That is really a show where things clearly got fixed in previews and in the end it was a lovely little show. I just wish it had run at least 2 more performances

Yeah, Avenue Q is going on 10 years of almost continuous run in New York (original Off Broadway + Broadway + NWS)...I can't imagine how anyone could say it hasn't had a long-enough run.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Ragtime -- the original was magical and amazing!

RAGS saw it in Boston and loved it. It just didn't seem to catch
