Description: This poster holds deep personal meaning for me, as it’s a farewell signing from some of the original Broadway cast of Ragtime. It was my second Broadway show as a young singer, and I had the honor of being the first replacement in the original cast after one of their members passed away. Sharing the stage with icons like Brian Stokes Mitchell and Audra McDonald, who are still legends in the Broadway and TV world, was an unforgettable experience. When Audra left, I became instant friends with her replacement, the brilliant young Tony Award-winner LaChanze. Her life, however, was marked by deep tragedy—her husband was one of the victims in the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001. At the time she signed this poster, she was pregnant with their first child, who had now started on Broadway, and her heartfelt message to me captures the emotional weight of that time. See photos. This poster is incredibly personal, signed by the entire cast as a farewell to me when I left the show. I’ve kept it tucked away in boxes for years because as an entertainer i move around a lot, but it represents such a meaningful chapter of my life. While it’s hard for me to let go, I know it belongs on someone’s wall, where it can be admired and appreciated for the rich Broadway, New York, and American history it represents, rather than collecting dust in storage. This rare and one-of-a-kind original Broadway cast Ragtime poster, featuring the signatures of the entire cast—including LaChanze’s touching message—is authenticated and was manufactured in the United States. Ragtime is known for its powerful music, storyline, and unforgettable performances, making this a perfect addition to any theater lover’s memorabilia collection.
