About Ragtime on Broadway

Everything you need to know about the show.

The Story

Ragtime is a sweeping musical adaption of E.L. Doctorow’s novel that follows three fictional families in pursuit of the American Dream at the dawn of the 20th Century: Black pianist Coalhouse Walker, Jr. and his beloved Sarah, Jewish immigrant Tateh and his little girl, and a wealthy white family led by matriarch Mother. All grasping for the same dream, if only they can hold onto it.

Featuring a lush score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, a stirring book by Terrence McNally, and original orchestrations by William David Brohn, all of whom won Tony Awards for their work, Ragtime weaves fictional narratives with real historical figures and events, creating a rich tapestry that blurs the line between personal struggle and national identity, making history feel both intimate and epic.

Utter perfection
"Ragtime was one of the most powerful pieces of theater I have ever experienced. The music was breathtaking, the performances were extraordinary, and the storytelling left me completely speechless. Some moments made me smile, others made me angry, and others brought me to tears. Joshua Henry's portrayal of Coalhouse Walker Jr. was unforgettable. One scene that shattered me was after Sarah's death, when Coalhouse sat beside the piano, and the memory of their first meeting appeared before him. Watching him reach for her as she faded away captured grief, love, and heartbreak in a way I will never forget. I was also struck by the symbolism throughout the production. The moment when the clouds transformed into the American flag, only for it to disappear as Coalhouse's fight for justice reached its tragic conclusion, felt incredibly powerful. This production reminded me that theater can do more than entertain—it can make us feel, reflect, and see the world differently. A truly extraordinary experience. I am already planning to see it again."
