Congratulations to all the TONY Award winners - especially the Ragtime revival.

In June 2016, we presented a semi-staged semi-pro concert of Ragtime the musical, conducted by Ben Ferguson, with the full Bill Brohn orchestration. Jordan Li-Smith's partnership with Myra the Steinway began in this production. We presented the piece in traverse, with the company on a narrow catwalk and the audience seated on the floor below. Five chairs, some scarves, some canes and bespoke Lemington Ridley costumes and choreography. Directed by Toby Hine with support from Daniel Penfold. Martin Segerstrale was our rep pianist.

We received four Broadway World nominations for what was, in some ways, an amateur show and definitely our first ever production.
