It's Back! Ragtime Celebrates a Happy Broadway Homecoming

The beloved musical Ragtime is back where it belongs, at Broadway’s Neil Simon Theatre. And on November 15, the cast of 40 soaked up opening night love from an enthusiastic audience that included Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and original stars Brian Stokes Mitchell and Marin Mazzie. After the performance, the company and first-nighters headed up to Tavern on the Green for a last hurrah before the famed restaurant closes for remodeling and a change of ownership. The night was balmy enough to enjoy cocktails outdoors under trees lit with tiny white lights. Magical! Click on for the most complete photographic coverage of Ragtime’s big night.
