That glorious "New Music" plays on! Lincoln Center Theater’s revival of Ragtime has been extended through August 2 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. This marks the second extension for the sweeping musical epic, which was originally scheduled as a 14-week engagement.
Ragtime blends real historical figures and events with fictional narratives to tell the tale of three families whose lives become intertwined at the turn of the century. Based on E. L. Doctorow's sprawling historical novel, the show boasts a Tony-winning book by Terrence McNally and a lustrous score from Tony-winning songwriting duo Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Lear deBessonet directs.
The production stars Joshua Henry as Coalhouse Walker Jr., Caissie Levy as Mother, Brandon Uranowitz as Tateh, Colin Donnell as Father, Nichelle Lewis as Sarah, Ben Levi Ross as Younger Brother, Julie Benko as Emma Goldman, Anna Grace Barlow as Evelyn Nesbit, John Clay III as Booker T. Washington, Rodd Cyrus as Harry Houdini, Nick Barrington as The Little Boy and Ellie May Sennett as Little Girl. Shaina Taub, who originated the role of Emma Goldman, will return to the production on March 31.
