Ragtime's Road to Broadway, Part 1: The Director/Choreographer

Excitement is building for the return to Broadway of Ragtime—and director/choreographer Marcia Milgrom Dodge is getting lots of credit for breathing fresh life into the beloved 1998 musical adaptation of E. L. Doctorow’s epic novel. Dodge’s Kennedy Center mounting of Ragtime drew raves last spring, and now she’ll make her Broadway debut (after amassing numerous credits around the country) with the production. Over the next few weeks, Broadway.com will follow Ragtime’s journey to the Neil Simon Theatre (where previews begin October 23) in a series of exclusive behind-the-scenes Photo Ops. First up: a peek at Dodge and her cast in rehearsal.
