Ragtime is hardly re-inventing the material. It's cast has help reinvent its finances for Lincoln Center."
Nothing goes over your head, CoffeeBreak.

It didn't go over my head, Petero. It's a response none-the-less.

Re-inventing Ragtime is not. Its message has finally caught up with the social-political climate, but it coddles a very specific theater audience. This production is what the show is. This revival just has great performances to really land the plane. But nothing about this production is special beyond those actors and they will be rewarded on Sunday as they should.
The downplaying of ballroom boils down to Cats not appealing to Broadway’s typical white audience. Let’s call a spade a spade. Two things can be true. But let’s not call Ragtime a re-invention of anything. That’s an outright lie. I hope everyone wins what they deserve. Honestly the trophies need to spread the love. All box offices need it.

Guys let me help you out... I was making a joke. Please no more Ragtime hate thinkpieces in response to my silly little joke. Please jot them down in your diaries and bury them instead.
