Just discovered this clip and all I can say is WOW.....again! Just how much talent (and brilliance) can one individual have? Stokes is a miracle! "For me, "Ragtime" and it's oreganal cast IS the best musical ever written and produced. It was indeed a transformative experience when I first saw the show decades ago. As I revisit it....it's power and beauty remain in tact. I so wish there were a video of the entire show with it's. original cast..just for the 'Ages" ....and for my joy. Thank you for posting this Gem!
One of my four top favorite musicals. Saw this show on Broadway, at the Bushnell (twice), and at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit (the night of my dad's funeral). Some day I hope to conduct it. Fantastic score.
Ragtime is among the best musicals ever on Broadway. I saw the original cast. Will never forget it. Transformative!
Is there anything this man can't do!!! Beautiful voice great actor now I find he can dance as well!!
He is the height of a broadway actor, singer and performer. Insurmountable. And seems like a wonderful person too.

This is absolutely amazing! Thanks for posting this incredible number with Brian Stokes Mitchell.
I met Stokes on two occasions. He's just as genuinely charming and nice off stage as on.
You can’t help but smile when you see and hear this fantastic number!
my favorite musical. and the great brian stokes mitchell. but why this number out of all of them to put on the tonight show?
Brian Stokes Mitchell is a bonafide STAR!!!
I saw “Ragtime” twice and then ran into him at a restaurant after a performance. He was charming, friendly and kind to me. What a voice!
one of my favorite songs from this musical
WOW!!!! WHAT THE DANCE!!!!!! I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER FIND THIS SONG!!!!!!!!
This is my showcase song!!!!!
Daryl Morey's hype song
What an odd selection to perform on the Tonight Show, when there are better/more singable numbers from Ragtime that could have been done instead...
+Court Clark "We need a couple white people for the end of the number...who wants to be on Leno?"
Great number, but why not Wheels Of A Dream or something with a little more substance from this amazing piece of musical theatre?
I like the clothes from that era
Im here cause of Daryl Morey 🤣😂
