Tony‑Winning Ragtime Adds Two‑Week Final Extension and Will Close August 16

Overview

• Lincoln Center Theater announced on June 9 that the Broadway revival will add a final two‑week extension and play its last performance at the Vivian Beaumont Theater on Sunday, August 16.
• The company released a final ticket block for August 2–16 and published detailed cast rotations and replacement schedules for the run’s remaining weeks.
• Several principals have set departure dates with named successors, including Ben Levi Ross leaving July 12, Colin Donnell exiting June 14, and Julie Benko returning to play Emma Goldman August 4–16.
• Producers cited the show’s four 2026 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Revival, as a factor in the added dates and heightened audience demand that prompted the extension.
• The revival — directed by Lear deBessonet as Lincoln Center Theater’s first production under its new artistic leadership — will launch a North American tour in fall 2027 beginning at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre and will extend the production’s run beyond Broadway.
