What a thrill finally catching this live tonight. What is there to say that hasn't already been said?

This was a near-perfect night of theatre, a huge cast and orchestra anchored by a better-than-ever Joshua Henry, who completely won me over with *those* five words. That score! The timely message with a capital TM!

I didn't feel like I missed anything without Shaina or Tabitha. Julie Benko has slid in to Goldman beautifully not even a week in. Brava.

Those kids!!! :)

There were 2 swings on, including one for Henry Ford, whose namesake song sounds as irresistible as ever. 

Some questionable directorial choices and I could've used a bit more set, but budget's gonna budget I guess. I too had some issues with Nichelle's diction.

I bet Lear can't possibly imagine a more euphoric start to her LCT tenure. It's a good thing setting high expectations for yourself in the future. I look forward to seeing what's next for her beyond this miraculous staging, but let's keep the demand up for now and keep the RAGTIME coming, shall we?
