Loved it. Would see it again tomorrow.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that I once ushered for a local community theatre production of Ragtime. It actually did so well commercially, that they extended the run. As a result, I was invited back to usher for an additional performance. Although the actor who was initially playing Younger Brother couldn't continue. So a replacement (who was notably older than the actress playing Mother) came in...and he didn't look nor felt convincing in the role.

Josha Henry was glorious on The View this am. Please watch it. I'm not ashamed to say it made me cry. Ragtime feels more important than ever right now.

A number of people are still waiting for the live capture of the 2023 reunion concert to premiere. I've read that it's currently on hold because of this revival.

Curious to hear about another extension soon?

The quality of the vocals, the ensemble member who has an amazing featured part and most of all the absolute horror and despair coming from the actors it was almost frightening in the most moving way. God it ‘hits’ deep and I can’t tell if this is inherent in the material or if this production took it to new places. In general, the quality of the acting and singing in this production is next level!! “

Allison Blackwell, as Sarah’s Friend, is otherworldly singing/preaching this song. If you are not emotionally devastated by the shear impact of this number by her and the entire cast and feeling THEIR emotions pouring out at you onstage, you do not have a beating heart!!!!

I posted about this here a couple months ago when John Clay posted about it on Instagram, but I don’t think it was ever announced officially.

This started with the Jan 11th performance, and was announced alongside the extension but a lot of people probably missed it due to being secondary news to the extension itself.

Yes it was- i think he stopped doing Sundays after the New Year, and when you went on any ticket site, it asterisked every Sunday show with a note that he'd be out. 

The revival has officially extended for a second time. It will now play its final performance on August 2nd.
