The recording of the final "All The Wasted Time" that's circulating the internet is brutal. Ben and Micaela sobbing and speak-singing their way though these words. Voices cracking and breaking. Pure raw emotion. absolutely gut-wrenching.

So happy I was able to see it one last time on Saturday night.

If this does tour, I hope Max Chernin is Leo.

It must be circulating an internet that I don't have as I haven't had any luck in finding it. :)

If it’s true that this recouped it’s investment, I hope that bodes well for producers willing to risk backing a new Ragtime revival.

Serious question: The 2009 revival of Ragtime, while a scaled down version only ran 65 performances. Why would any back a new revival?

In 2009 we were in the midst of a financial recession.

He was the understudy for Ben Platt for the Broadway production.

The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

IMO, Ragtime is not a great show. Clunky book.

Does anyone know if the version of this show currently being licensed has all the cuts made for the Broadway production?

This weekend I saw a small local production being put on in an old bank.  Very good, but I don't know if I misremembered things, as I only saw the Bwy version once over a year ago.

I overheard someone say it is an equity coop.  A huge cast with a mix of local theatre veterans and some recent grads, and a good band.  Looks like they spent a lot on costumes.  But they seat maybe 50 people per performance. Definitely a labour of love as I can't see it breaking even.

Biggest difference from Broadway version is audience very quiet, and not breaking into shrieks and sobs at every note Platt sung.
