Ragtime - A Sweeping American Musical

About the Show

Ragtime is a sweeping and powerful Broadway musical that captures the spirit, struggles, and aspirations of early 20th-century America. Based on E.L. Doctorow's novel, the musical features a book by Terrence McNally, music by Stephen Flaherty, and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. Since its Broadway premiere in 1998, Ragtime has been celebrated for its ambitious storytelling, emotionally resonant score, and profound exploration of American identity.

Set at the turn of the century, Ragtime weaves together the lives of fictional characters and real historical figures against a backdrop of social change, immigration, racial injustice, and industrialization. The original Broadway production earned 13 Tony Award nominations, winning Best Score and Best Book, and remains one of the most respected and moving works in modern musical theater. With its lush orchestration, soaring ensemble numbers, and deeply human stories, Ragtime continues to resonate as both a historical epic and a timeless reflection on equality, justice, and the American Dream.

Show Summary and Experience

Ragtime interlaces three distinct yet interconnected storylines, each representing a different facet of American life in the early 1900s. The first follows a wealthy white family from New Rochelle, led by Mother, whose worldview is transformed when she takes in Sarah, a young Black woman, and her infant son. The second centers on Coalhouse Walker Jr., a proud and gifted Black pianist whose life is devastated by racial injustice, setting him on a tragic and radical path. The third storyline follows Tateh, a Jewish immigrant striving to survive and create a better future for his young daughter in a rapidly changing America.

As these lives intersect, the musical explores themes of love, ambition, prejudice, and resilience. Historical figures, including Booker T. Washington, Emma Goldman, Harry Houdini, and Henry Ford, appear throughout the story, grounding the narrative in real-world events while highlighting the era's social and political tensions. Musically and stylistically, Ragtime is epic and almost operatic, blending intimate character moments with large-scale ensemble storytelling. Drawing inspiration from Ragtime, gospel, and early American musical traditions, the score is both period-specific and timeless, offering audiences a serious, emotional, and deeply moving theatrical experience.
