So says Broadway Journal:
Lear deBessonet is preparing to stage a Broadway revival of Ragtime at the Vivian Beaumont Theater this fall, in her debut as artistic director of Lincoln Center Theater.
Previews are scheduled to begin September 25 ahead of an Oct. 16 opening, people familiar with the production said.
The 1998 musical was briefly revived on Broadway in 2009. In the fall of 2024, deBessonet mounted an acclaimed concert version at City Center — where she’s the outgoing artistic director of Encores! — starring Joshua Henry, Caissie Levy, Brandon Uranowitz, Shaina Taub, Colin Donnell, Nichelle Lewis and Ben Levi Ross. Casting for the new production isn’t final. A Lincoln Center Theater spokeswoman declined to comment.
