Ragtime's Closing

From The Boston Globe:

The Broadway revival of “Ragtime,’’ which opened Nov. 15 at New York City’s Neil Simon Theatre, will close this weekend because of slow ticket sales. That’s sad news for Boston, because the show was the first big break for Boston Conservatory grad Stephanie Umoh, who has played the role of Sarah. Umoh also played Sarah in a New Repertory Theatre production of “Ragtime’’ in 2006. She had told the Globe, of stepping up for the Broadway gig, “I walk down the street and think, ‘This is what it feels like to be happy.’ And I’m not ashamed to admit it.’’"
