Ragtime

The revival of the musical Ragtime opened in previews yesterday. Usually the CBs wait to see a show until it's been playing for a while but we took a gamble and saw the show at today's matinée. It is really a lovely show with some wonderful performances. The actor who played Coalhouse- Quentin Earl Darrington- was wonderful and so was the actress who played the mother- Christiane Noll. We were happy to see Bobby Steggert again. We loved him in 110 in the Shade and he is equally terrific in the musical. We only wish he sang more because he has a wonderful voice. If you like a big musical, in the style of Les Miz, make sure to catch this revival of Ragtime.
