    Ragtime the $8 million Broadway musical revival is closing after a disappointing run, despite generally upbeat reviews when it opened only two months ago. Some say it couldn’t compete against other shows without a name – read Hollywood — star on the marquee. Ragtime to contend with other shows that included such Hollywood luminaries as Jude Law, Sienna Miller Catherine Zeta-Jones, Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig among their casts. Hollywood stars definitely help bring in tourists. But blame poor marketing and cheap producers for Ragtime’s demise.
