What did our critic think of HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME THE MUSICAL at Texarkana Repertory Company?

STAGES St. Louis production of RAGTIME is exquisite and an important piece of Americana. The symphonic quality of the Ahrens and Flaherty score has many beautiful sections, and the relevance of the story is timeless. The slowly unfolding narrative is told nicely through Goodwin’s focused direction, the competent performances of the accomplished cast, the gifted musical direction and accompaniment, and the polished work of the technical theater professionals. RAGTIME does not reach the grand heights of the other epic musicals that have become a global phenomenon. But, it is certainly monumental in its storytelling and deserves to be seen, especially this beautifully staged production at STAGES St. Louis.
