Ahead of the Tony Awards, CBS Sunday Morning showcased the Broadway revival of Ragtime in a special feature segment. Ragtime took home four Tony Awards at the June 7 ceremony, including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Sound Design of a Musical, Caissie Levy for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical, and Joshua Henry for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical.

As depicted in Ragtime , the pursuit of the American Dream was just as dramatic, expansive and heartfelt at the turn of the 20th century as it is today. Correspondent Mo Rocca talked with Tony-nominated actors Joshua Henry , Caissie Levy and Brandon Uranowitz , and with lyricist Lynn Ahrens and composer Stephen Flaherty , about the show's parallels to the contemporary world, from issues of race to the immigrant experience.

Plus, a web exclusive full interview was released, that was not aired during the CBS Sunday Morning broadcast. In the video, Brandon Uranowitz , Joshua Henry and Caissie Levy discussed their emotional connections with the show's story and themes – as artists, audience members, and cast members from past productions.
