When Brandon Uranowitz was ten years old, he starred in the pre-Broadway, Toronto run of Ragtime . Sadly, that journey ended before he got to bring role of 'Little Boy' to Broadway. Now, almost 30 years later, Ragtime has become the show that has brought Brandon his fifth Tony nomination.

"I never thought that Ragtime would come back to me with this much love and support from not just the community, but from New York City, from the country, from the world. I never thought it would bring me my fifth Tony nomination," he told BroadwayWorld. "I think was harboring a lot of like shame and hurt, specifically around this show. I think that followed me for much of my life since then. I have like really reconciled through this experience."
