"Absolutely incredible performances. Be prepared to cry. Although the story is set in the early 1900's, its themes are eerily relevant today. Truly impactful and phenomenal. "

Incredible story and talent
"I bought my family (ages 10, 14, 18, and 2 adults) to see this show for my daughter's birthday. It was incredible! While we missed seeing Joshua Henry (he was fantastic at City Center when I saw him last year), we very much enjoyed his understudy's performance by John Clay III. I look forward to seeing more from him! The entire cast was excellent, and I cried several times. The themes and beauty of the music were outstanding. In my 10 year old son's words: "It was a sad play, but also a beautiful play." We all enjoyed it and learned as well. "

Amazing talent and beautiful production !
"The show was beautiful to watch with fantastic voices and performances. The staging , pacing and lighting were also great . Interesting story and message, particularly in our country today . We did feel the show was a bit longer than necessary ( especially first act ) with perhaps a bit tooooo many production numbers. But non the less , the show was moving and top notch ! "

Excellent show!
"The theatre was great with superb sight lines and good sized seating that is not overly crowded. The show was well staged and there was an obvious high production value throughout the sets, costumes, acting, and singing. This was my first time to see a Broadway show at Lincoln Center, but certainly not the last!"

Great show says Aussie tourists!
"We had not heard of Ragtime until we planned a holiday to New York. We wanted to see something different on Broadway and we had seen many of the well known musicals elsewhere. It was a great decision - we were blown away by the show! It had everything - an important and relevant story, great singing, great lyrics, great cast. We were spellbound and it was quite the tearjerker! We now know more about America and New York. We are glad we came, and we probably won't be able to see this show anywhere else. Two Aussies."

A once-in-a-decade event
"I’ve seen several dozen Broadway shows over the years. This is easily the best sung show I’ve ever watched, with a top-notch score. It’s a perfectly timed revival really makes you feel something about the state of America today without being preachy. A can’t miss show in the least exaggerated sense."

One of the finest shows ever on Broadway
"We have been to many plays on Broadway over many decades. Ragtime is at the very top of our list, with extraordinary music, performances and production in a play that seems to feel more current every year and that, while entertaining, had a deeply serious and emotional resonance rarely seen. This was the fifth different production of Ragtime that my wife and I have seen, and it continues its powerful grip on the audience. I do not remember a more enthusiastic audience reaction in any Broadway show, and it was well deserved. "

One of the best musicals in recent decades.
"Based on the Doctorow novel, this musical traces the American experience at the turn of the 20th century by following the lives of three New York families: one American upper-class white, one of Latvian immigrants and one of a Black (yes, ragtime) musician. The Flaherty and Ahrens score is stirring -- lush and melodious -- and the book thrilling in its telling of the ways different characters seek the American dream. Confession: I have seen this show several times, in the original production and this new version. But this revival at Lincoln Center is a must-see, powerful and beautiful."

Exhilarating and inspiring.
"The music was immediately captivating. The talent of each and every cast member was exceptional - so much so that individual numbers triggered standing ovations from the audience. I loved this show when I saw the original production years ago. The relevance of the show's themes given the inhumane policies of our current administration struck deep into my heart, at points bringing me to tears. I hope that all theatre goers will find inspiration from this exquisite reminder that we are a country of immigrants. "

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.
