"Ragtime" - Beautiful and Underrated

Whether you melt at the voices, tap your foot to the ragtime beat or just weep at the injustice and the beauty of it all, "Ragtime" is one of the best American musicals ever written. It has it all, soaring music, a love story, intrigue and political upheaval. I love it.

Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell "Wheels of a Dream" from "Ragtime"
