Our story
"This is a wonderful rendition of the immigration story. The story is very moving and also very inclusive of all races and classes. The actors give an emotional performance as the story journeys through the beginning of the 20th century. The songs touch the heart and soul of all that are in the audience. Ragtime, what a performance."

Masterpiece!
"The ensemble was incredible. The vocals were spine tingling. The acting was superb up and down the entire cast. The two lead performers were amazing. Joshua Henry and Cassie Levy receving Tonys for outstanding actor and actress in a musical was a no brainer. One of the best if not THE best musicals I’ve ever experienced!"

A complicated, spectacular, timely musical
"The acting and singing were absolutely beautiful. It was very moving, and though it showed a world of about 100 years ago, it is still timely today. The only criticism, and it isn't really a criticism because the music was all beautiful, but there was no song that was especially memorable."

Best in Show
"What a historical, and thought provoking show - full of talented actors, singers and dancers who unfolded America’s history in a way that revealed truths and cut to the heart of America’s dream, hopes, and unfulfilled promises. Yet ‘Hope continues’ and these artist challenge us to see the heavy truths of American’s continued journey to master ‘liberty and justice for ALL’!
BRAVO!!!!!!"

Ragtime A Magnificent Experience!
"I loved the story, the actors, the passion, the songs and the set design. I thoroughly enjoy seeing plays @ the Vivian Beaumont Theater, the seating & stage provide an intimate experience. I did not experience any negativity or anything I’d want changed. In fact, after being moved to tears several times during the play, I wanted to see it again. Bravo-Brava to everyone involved in this poignantly moving production. "

Some Shows Entertain You. Ragtime Became a Part of Me.
"Three performances. Three standing ovations. Three times I left the theater in tears.
Yesterday was the final show for me, and I'm still trying to find the words to explain what this production has meant to me. Ragtime touched something deep inside me in ways I can't fully explain. I guess you could say... I imprinted.
Every performance gave me something different, but sitting front row for my final show was unforgettable. I was so close to the stage that I felt like I was part of the story. I could see every expression, every emotion, every moment. When Make Them Hear You began, the tears came. And by the final curtain, I was crying all over again.
Joshua Henry's performance was nothing short of extraordinary. His voice, his artistry, and the emotion he pours into every note are unforgettable. I truly believe his talent and his voice will be remembered as one of the greatest of this generation. Watching him perform has been an honor.
To the entire cast, orchestra, musicians, crew, and everyone who brought this masterpiece to life—thank you. Thank you for giving audiences an experience that is so much more than a musical. You created something that people carry with them long after the curtain falls.
Some shows entertain you.
Ragtime became a part of me. 🖤🎭"

Do not miss this show!
"This show is one of the best I have seen on Broadway and I’ve seen them all. The cast is unbelievable. The lead Joshua Henry has a voice like no other. The music is incredible. The storyline will uplift you, make you think but will also make you shed a tear.
I saw it with Brian Stokes Mitchell over 20 years ago, and we all know how great he is, but Joshua Henry takes it to another level.
It deserved every Tony Award it received. "

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.
