Houdini's in Pasadena

A revival of the musical Ragtime is currently playing at the Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena, California through March 3. The actor playing Houdini, Benjamin Schrader, has been sharing some terrific photos via his Twitter. Looks like an impressive production and Schrader makes a convincing Houdini!
