The most powerful performance I have seen in memory
"This had to be my favorite performance of the year. The singing and acting was incredible and the production was amazing. It is a must see, and I am telling everyone I know to see it before all of NYC knows especially since it has become so much more relevant today than what the last time I saw it over 20 years ago."

Josh Henry's voice sends chills
"Having seen Ragtime at regional theatres previously, I was familiar with the story line and score. That did not stop me from becoming emotional as the trials of living in NY in 1906 unfolded through the tremendous acting and beautiful singing of this fabulous cast! The supporting players were just as engaging as the leading players, making this show very powerful. Must see!!!!!!"

Brilliant, Timely and Relevant!
"“Ragtime” has always been a personal favorite since the original production. This current revival exceeded all my expectations and gave me a deeper appreciation for its score and characters.
You become a witness to the personal battles of its main characters regarding justice, the challenge of immigrants striving for freedom and opportunity in America and the journey of a woman finding the courage to make decisions on her own.
The score is filled with power, beauty, humor and pathos. Joshua Henry as Coalhouse Walker has never been better. Caissie Levy brings heart and a gentle defiance to her role as Mother. Brandon Uranowitz delivers heartfelt passion as Tateh. The entire ensemble is outstanding!
I was reminded of the freedoms I have cherished in America and the urgency to stand up for those freedoms today.
I was on my feet and moved to tears throughout this performance! I highly recommend “Ragtime.” It must be seen and heard!

Brilliant, and truly American!
"We went to the show for Joshua Henry, and he delivered (three standing ovations during the show!), but so did everyone else in the cast. This is a show about the past, but also one for our times... presented by a brilliant cast and led by the voice of a generation. Also the venue is exceptional, as was the costuming, the staging, the orchestra! We are still singing three days later! (Please tell me they are making a soundtrack recording.)"

About
Ragtime
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.
