Kennedy Center's Ragtime is Broadway-Bound

The Kennedy Center's recent production of Ragtime will be making its way to Broadway, critic Peter Marks reports today. The show, which was not originally slated for Broadway, will reopen at the Neil Simon Theatre Nov. 15. We were moved by the epic production when it was in town, which will stay largely the same with some cast changes and set adaptations. Between this news, the success of 33 Variations and Next To Normal (both with early stops at Arena Stage) and Signature's snagging of the regional Tony award, it's shaping up to be a good year for D.C. theater on the national stage.
