BIO
Sandy Zwier recently finished the National Tour of Ragtime as the anarchist/feminist Emma Goldman. However, her passion for gender equality and exclaiming things loudly at people started way before now: first at her alma mater Western Michigan University where she earned her BFA in Music Theatre Performance, then touring with the girl-power musical Mamma Mia!, and then to NYC where she completed multiple courses with the Upright Citizens Brigade. She even took a turn reenacting Rosie the Riveter in Pittsburgh (yes we can!). In her quieter moments, Sandy enjoys Zumba and travel, volunteering with organizations such as Have a Hart Day, and playing video games. She can also be found behind the camera, working as a personal assistant to multiple celebrities and filming shorts for festivals and competitions. If it's creative, impulsive, enlightening or silly, she's onboard!

BWW Review: RAGTIME at Dallas Summer Musicals
Walking into the Music Hall at Fair Park Tuesday night, I was extremely eager to enjoy Ahrens and Flaherty's lavish, Tony Award-winning score in the tour of RAGTIME. Together with Terrence McNally's dynamic script, RAGTIME is celebrated as perhaps one of the greatest book musicals of the past two decades. Unfortunately, in spite of all of its inherent strengths, technical troubles plagued the tour's opening night performance. I left the theatre completely disappointed.

BWW Review: Resplendent RAGTIME Brings Elite Syncopations to Providence Performing Arts Center
Rhode Island audiences, prepare to be dazzled. RAGTIME is - deservedly - one of the most highly acclaimed musicals of the last two decades and the touring production now playing the Providence Performing Arts Center does the show's rich legacy proud.

BWW Reviews: RAGTIME at Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza
At the beginning of Act II of Ragtime, Terrence McNally's masterful musical adaptation of E. L. Doctorow's novel, journeyman pianist Coalhouse Walker Jr., decimated by the murder of his beloved Sarah, sings, 'Say goodbye to music / Say goodbye to light.' This sums up my feelings about Theater League's production of Ragtime, which arrived for a brief four-day stay at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on Thursday night. The original 1998 Broadway production won a Tony Award for Best Score, but many patrons who packed the Fred Kavli Theatre on opening night were dismayed to discover that Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty's sumptuous, moving songs were being played from pre-recorded synthesized music tracks. Despite superb performances from the entire cast, Theater League's Ragtime suffers greatly from this omission, which was apparently a decision of Phoenix Entertainment, the independent theatrical producing and management enterprise in charge of producing the show.
