Roy Furman talks about the transfer of the Kennedy Center production of Ragtime to Broadway. "I had no thought of bringing it to Broadway, the veteran producer told Joel Markowitz at last month's press preview, Until I went to Washington to see it at the Kennedy Center." I hope you enjoy it. Please leave a comment at DC Theatre Scene.

Despite Mr. Furman's insistence, the Washington production had exactly the same number of musicians as the original production, and as are in the transfer.

It's nice to hear a producer talk about why he loves a show so much as to invest in it. I hope the critics and NYC theater goers are as passionate as he is about the show. I'm looking forward to seeing it in mid December.
