Despite having never seen Titanic play out as a full show, I know from listening to the score and reading about it and getting the structure from all that... that RAGTIME is far and away a better musical, and I think it has a much better and vastly more memorable score. And it's funny... I was 14 in 1997, so it seemed to me then like Steel Pier was more about "old people" but that was also my short hand for the post, I never thought it was about elderly people or anything. But I do remember the CD being disappointing (ps I wasn't a normal 14 year old, I had a vast knowledge of musicals by then). The show I was most taken by that year, and still am, is The Life. I think the score is just sensational. But yes, I remember watching Rosie (for the performances) and seeing all these shows and hearing about them. I was already a fairly regular theater goer, but somehow I missed seeing all the big new shows of 1997... I never saw The Life, Titanic, or Steel Pier. But I did see the surrounding shows... Forum, Chicago, Rent, Ragtime, Parade, Cabaret, Annie Get Your Gun.
