Rag Dolly Revue at the Raggedy Ann Rally, June 7th 2024

Live for the first time since 1986, come experience a selection of songs from the previously lost musical!
The Raggedy Ann Revival Effort's performance of a showcase of songs from the Rag Dolly musical, presented by RARE Theatricals LLC. The Rag Dolly Revue is also the public debut of new music arrangements and lyric revisions, with permission from the Raposo estate to use this performance as a test before discussing proper workshops. This is the first step towards our goal of a full revival.
The show was part of the festivities taking place during the Raggedy Ann Rally in Arcola, Illinois, a yearly get-together of Raggedy Ann fans that has been gathering since 1989. The organizers are very supportive of our Revival Effort and helping us get this performance off the ground.
