Featuring a Tony Award-winning score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, a book by Terrence McNally, and original orchestrations by William David Brohn, Ragtime interlaces the fictional stories of three families with historical figures and events to capture the tensions and aspirations of turn-of-the-century America.

Based on E.L. Doctorow’s acclaimed novel, Ragtime is a sweeping musical portrait of America at the dawn of the 20th century. The story follows Black pianist Coalhouse Walker Jr. (Joshua Henry) and his beloved Sarah (Nichelle Lewis), Jewish immigrant Tateh (Brandon Uranowitz) and his daughter, and a wealthy white family led by Mother (Caissie Levy)—all striving for the same elusive American Dream.

McClelland, Michael Page, Acton Rothschild Productions/Willette and Manny Klausner, Alexander-Taylor Deignan/Jay and Mary Sullivan, D’Angora Padgett Productions/Janet and Marvin Rosen, Maggio Lane/Rubin Bolosh, and Peter May/Coluzzi Cohen.
