- The cast of the Broadway musical Ragtime performs the amazing opening title number. On The Rosie O'Donnell Show, January 19, 1998.
One of my favorite Broadway shows ever. Watch for a 12-year-old Lea Michele (from Glee) at 3:46.

I like how Audra just casually sings over everyone.
Not to mention Marin ❤️
They were mic’d and their mics were never turned off so you can hear their voices over everyone. Not that I’m complaining. I’d listen to Audra or Marin singing over everyone any day!
In the beginning it sounds like Audra McDonald is singing offstage because you can hear her voice in the ladies "la la la la la" 😂
no that’s Marin Mazzie
Even Rosie O’Donnell knew that “Ragtime” was going to be on the great pantheon of musical theater. Unfortunately this musical isn’t played that much, it should be since the problems those three sides faced are still current in our society, it should be played in EVERY point in this globe for it’s timeless message
Bruno Apresentação agreed!
I would say this is the greatest Broadway musical ever. I love this show so much, so damn much.
Evan Brook
precisely this is my favorite musical as well
Just saw it live, it was amazing
Me too! Favorite mystical, favorite songs from any musical, favorite original cast. The original cast was breathtaking perfection.
The way Brian Stokes Mitchell twirls his hat is just breathtaking :-)
I love how you can hear Marin and Audra's voice soaring above the others, which may just be that they had mics and most everyone else didn't, but you know what since it's the delectable voices of Marin Mazzie and Audra McDonald, I am perfectly ok with that. This show was perfection and I'm so happy it's being revived! I'll just miss Marin, Audra and Brian Stokes-Mitchell. They were all completely brilliant!
It's so funny. Lea Michelle looks just like her present self but shrunk down to kid size.
Lmao right !!!!!!!
Wait, that’s Lea Michelle? Ha!
she's always had an old woman's face
@@nan1577 no she didn't what a weird lie to tell.
Oh my gosh, audra's high B at the end. :DDDDD SO FREAKING GOOD!
I wish someone would bring this play back. I was the best production ever.
AUDRA MCDONALD I LOVE YOU. she seriously has one of the most beautiful voices i've ever heard. it is so smooth and perfect and AHH I LOVE HER
RIP Marin Mazzie.
Audra McDonald is absolutely amazing. I love her so much. Her voice is pure. Lea Michelle is so young and so cute
I saw this episode & loved this performance. A few months later, on Easter Sunday, I saw it on Broadway. It blew me away. Audra MacDonald was mesmerizing. I had no idea 'til now that Lea Michelle played the little girl.
jucaha1 hey singing "Your daddy's son" always equal tears.
This opening number gives me goosebumps... love it
This was her second role on Broadway.The first was young cosette in Les Miserables. Then this, then Spring Awakening.
StephanieSamara after this Fiddler on The Roof before Spring Awakening opened on Broadway!
"Ragtime" IS the best show I've ever seen, heard, felt and cheered. From every aspect, its power sustains all these years later. perhaps more relevant than ever. The combination of talents that went inot this production give me chills and tears everytime I hear or see this video. Can't say that about many show opening numbers. They were all divine! Wish I could havenbeen that show, just to perform that music, those lyrics 8 times a week. What a dream job!!!!!!!
I was 17 when I saw this on Broadway a few years ago and I thought it was incredible!
Such a beautifully performed number, beautiful melody and brutally blunt lyrics. A microcosm of society with all its cruel separations. When will we ever come together?
Audra killed that note at the end. wow I love her :}
I love how Lea Michele has always looked the same haha
Lea Michele plays the little immigrant girl. I saw this show back when it played on Broadway. Little did I know I'd be seing a future DIVA! :)
I wish I could've seen this original cast! It would've been a mind blowing experience!
I did, and it was.
take another bow... take another bow... TAKE ANOTHER F**UCKING BOW DAMMIT!
Now THIS is Broadway Music!
It was this musical, and my parents/ grandparents, and my Minnesotan amazing progressive high school teacher’s that taught me to be liberal! Go Harris/ Walz💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I fell in love with theater because of this play
I saw a Broadway production of "Ragtime" back in '99! It was a wonderful show and one of the best memories I have. :)
A Young Lea Michele! OMG. She was so cute
Again and again, this as thrilling and enjoyable as when first viewed, even this abbreviated opening scene.
That hat spin though...
2:32
This number always gives me chills and makes me tear up. Soo good!!!
I cry with joy whenever I see this clip. I was lucky enough to see this original cast of Ragtime back in 1998 and they were so good, and the musical was so good, it had such a profound impact on me and it changed my life forever.
RIP Marin Mazzie, she was an icon and there’s never been another broadway actress like her. So talented and wonderful.
@G4Rat
Audra has the voice of an angel!
I am such a huge fan of her. Always have been, always will!
Amazing they got so much of the cast to move so well on that tiny stage area .
LOVE LOVE LOVE❤️
Just streamed the movie Ragtime tonight
Had no idea Lea was in ragtime at all! let alone playing the little girl who i played in FCT's production of it. Most amazing experience of my life. words cannot describe how amazing that show is and to have the honour of being in it is priceless :) Brilliant.
I love the way they say ragtime :3 its so jazzy
HOLY CRAP ITS LEA MICHELE!
This show, more than any other showcased the way how music can connect people without them realizing.
Is that little immigrant girl the girl from Glee?
+MIS315 Yes
How different it was a little more than a hundred years ago.
So if you look closely, when Tateh appears, and later when they focus on him at 3:46 you will see a 12 year old Lea Michele, better known as Rachel Berry on Glee! She originated the role of "Little Girl" in this show. I have loved this show for ages, and totally didn't make that connection!
Brilliant!
LEA MICHELE!
Wow... though it'll be great to see a new revival... nothing can compares the original cast!!!
I saw this with the original cast when it first came out. The **ONLY** reason it did not when Best Musical was because it had the unfortunate luck to debut in the same year as "The Lion King".
Angel H should have won! What BS!
I love this 😭😍🙏🏾😍😍😍😍😍
This is one of the best shows in Broadway history.....and one of the best songs!!! Thanks for posting!!!
it was the music of something beginning
an era exploding, a century spinning
in riches and rags and in rhythm and rhyme,
the people called it ragtime, ragtime!
An absolute masterpiece
woow lea is there!!!
Lea Michele is so cute here! :)
This musical is so good, so sad that it's closing on Broadway. :(
I love how Rosie always puts Broadway into her shows!
Look at little Lea Michele from Glee in one of her first roles on Broadway!!!
best opening number EVER
so brilliant
A simply brilliant musical-saw it Toronto twice before it opened on Broadway where I saw it two more times-wore out the CD from playing so much-so sad that it lost the Tony Award, deserved a much longer run!
I miss Rosie!!!!!!!!
@iou50bucks I believe the woman stretching the C6 at the end is the woman holding the baby....although I'm sure Marin can sing a C6 too. She was classically trained, and a C6 is easily stretched for Sopranos. I don't know what her fach is, sing I haven't heard her sing opera, but for musical theatre, she is definitely a Soprano, although she does sing a lot of Mezzo songs too.
ugh this makes me CRY!
They need to make this into a movie. The cast is too large to sustain long and a movie format would work better. Please, PLEASE!!!!
thepurlfisher You should try to see it in person, whenever it plays. It's wonderful, as is, on stage.
I did see it in person on Broadway!! Even when to Philly when it was on tour. I just love it so much and want to watch it again but understand the reason they don't bring it back.
thepurlfisher Oh, that must have been great on Broadway! I saw it when it was on tour, last year. I think I understand what you mean now. A movie, or a complete recording of the stage show, would be nice!
They did make a movie.
The movie came first
the ending is great!
3:47 oh my goodness! little lea michele!! this was actually a pretty good show.
take another bow...take another bow!...TAKE ANOTHER BOW!!!!!!!!!!!
jeez rosie...
so precise! i love it!
She was also in the 2004 revival of Fiddler.
Lea Michele as the daughter, people!
Those cheek bones are inevitable to recognize!
LOOK LOOK...Lea Michelle!!
@G4Rat
I am such a huge Audra fan. So sorry I missed seeing this the first time around, but I did see her first show which was Carousel when I was 6 and loved her ever since! I think she defies the word "angel."
Im learning this song right now in My choir in 2013
I love how Peter Friedmans voice stands out
i thought that was lea! she's so fortunate to have performed with Audra...who won 4 tonys nd one for this role! omg
@iou50bucks Yes, I've heard her! She's absolutely fabulous! She and Bernadette are my two favourites.
aww leaaaa :)
2 things, the first one is did anyone else sing along and the second one is guess who was in here HENRY FORD THE CREATOR OF THE CAR COMPANY FORD
We're playing this song in our Marching Band... without the lyrics :P
Fiorillo
lea mitchell from glee was the little immigrant girl wow
They're reviving Ragtime? Yeah!
Audra McDonald played Sarah
I don't believe that person was comparing this to rap. He/she was comparing it to other musicals.
Is the girl at 3:47 Lea Michelle??
I'm gonna see the very third preview of the revival!
@estiebubs Lol yeah I believe she was in the OBC and touring cast.
Man, the sound mix on this was terrible. Kinda took me out of it.
Still though- one of the great productions in history.
ZestyItalian2 and greatest original cast in history!
Who else was here for Lea?
Audra McDonald.
was that Lea Michele from GLEE
audra :)
rachel berry!
Gosh that little boy at the end just tries to open his mouth as wide as possible!! Why??
And I don't wanna sound stupi, but who is Audra that everyone is commenting about?
@sidekickstupidco do u mean the Lea from Glee? If so she is the little jewish girl in the front.
@pete8619 Yes it is
m m m m...brian stokes mitchell...that voice!
does anyone have more parts of this musical with the OBC??
@iRebekah31 I agree....I hear Marin and Audra over everyone else....except for the C6 sung by one of the immigrant women at the end of the song.
@iou50bucks that's Audra
Look its Data....I mean Brent Spiner.
Who played the Little Boy?
Alex Strange
