The Broadway revival of the Terrence McNally-Lynn Ahrens-Stephen Flaherty musical Ragtime, previously announced to close at the Neil Simon Theatre on January 3, has been extended one week and will now close on January 10.
Marcia Milgrom Dodge directed and choreographed the production, which opened officially on November 15 and had a run of 28 previews and 65 regular performances.

Based on the E.L. Doctorow novel of the same name, the show weaves together the stories of a poor Jewish immigrant selling wares on the street, a wealthy Victorian couple offering aid to a runaway, and a Harlem jazz pianist out for justice.

Martin (J.P. Morgan), Michael McGowan (Stanford White), Donna Migliaccio (Emma Goldman), Josh Walden (Harry K. Thaw), Savannah Wise (Evelyn Nesbit), and Eric Jordan Young (Booker T. Washington).

The 40-member cast also features Sumayya Ali, Terence Archie, Corey Bradley, Jayden Brockington, Benjamin Cook, Carey Brown, Jennifer Evans, Carly Hughes, Lisa Karlin, Valisia LeKae, James Moye, Tracy Lynn Olivera, Mamie Parris, Bryonha Parham, Nicole Powell, Kaylie Robinaccio, Arbender J. Robinson, Benjamin Schrader, Wallace Smith, Catherine Walker, Jim Weaver, and Kylil Williams.

The production has scenic design by Derek McLane, costume design by Santo Loquasto, lighting design by Donald Holder, sound design by Acme Sound Partners, musical direction by James Moore, and original orchestrations by William David Brohn.
