What is the musical Ragtime about?
Set at the dawn of the 20th century, Ragtime intertwines the lives of three families in pursuit of the American Dream: a wealthy white family from New Rochelle, a Black pianist from Harlem, and a Jewish immigrant and his daughter from Latvia. Their stories converge amidst the social upheavals of the era, exploring themes of hope, justice, and the complexities of American identity.
Premiering on Broadway in 1998, Ragtime garnered thirteen Tony nominations, winning four, including Best Book and Best Original Score. Its powerful narrative and lush score have cemented its status as a modern classic and the show has enjoyed many tours and revivals since.
This 2025 revival follows a successful concert staging at New York City Center in 2024, directed by Lear deBessonet. The production's themes of racial tension, immigration, and the pursuit of the American Dream continue to resonate with audiences and with a rich tapestry of characters, including historical figures like Booker T. Washington, Henry Ford and Harry Houdini, Ragtime offers a powerful reflection on the promises and challenges of a changing nation. Secure your tickets today!
