Ragtime follows three families in pursuit of the American Dream.
Winner of four Tony Awards in 1998, Ragtime follows three families chasing the American Dream at the turn of the 20th century: Black pianist Coalhouse Walker Jr. and his love Sarah, a wealthy white family led by Mother, and Latvian immigrant Tateh with his daughter. This sweeping musical adaptation of E.L. Doctorow’s novel, featuring music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Terrence McNally, is directed by Tony-nominated Lear deBessonet. Ragtime vividly depicts America’s social upheaval through its powerful storytelling and memorable songs.
