4th time seeing. Best Show ever on Broadway
"I have never been so incredibly moved by a group of performers. This was my 4th time seeing this cast because it is just that good. I cried, I laughed and was emotionally impacted beyond words. I am not sure there has EVER been a collection of talent at this pinnacle level in one cast. I can't recommend enough. "

The best show I have EVER seen!
"I have seen many shows on and off Broadway and for many of them it was difficult to rank where they stood as far as what I personally seen. I watched this show and immediately knew it was the best I’d ever watched. My Professor told me if I was going to NYC that this was the show to watch and I understand why."

All I Could Ask For!
"Ragtime is my favorite musical, so it's no surprise this production had me in tears from the word "go." The sets were just enough to give your mind a framework and the lighting was spectacular. From the costumes to the incredible actors, nothing disappointed. I worried I would constantly compare it to the original production, but I was quickly swept away and left exactly the way I wanted to be––undone. GO SEE IT NOW!"

Just go!
"I was on the fence about going to see Ragtime but hearing Whoopi Goldberg rave about it made my decision easier. So glad I listened. From the moment the lights went down, I was hooked. So many moving parts, the production aspect alone was out of this world but the performances were phenomenal. Timely message as well but, again, the performances especially by Joshua Henry and Nichelle Lewis will blow you away. So much talent on one stage!"

Joshua Henry is a revelation.
"The first half of the show was slow and not very engaging. But you had to see it to understand what is going on in the second half. Which is when my sobbing started. And didn't end. The show is powerful. And Joshua Henry deserves every Tony they make."

A once in a lifetime experience of a timeless show
"I’ve been a longtime fan of ragtime since seeing it as my high school musical in the early 2000’s. I always knew I would see it whenever it came back to broadway. I’ve been excited ever since hearing last year that it would be back on Broadway and hearing who would be in the cast had me even more enthusiastic. The show didn’t disappoint, although it was hard to see through my teary eyes. It was moving, beautiful and filled with such a talented cast. It’s a must see show!! "

I’d do it again
"I’d love to see it again. To hear Joshua Henry and some of the other wonderful voices. To see the staging and hear the harp. This time I’d sit closer to the stage and in the center. And I’d listen to the score, no matter who is singing it. Just to understand all the words. For me it was a little like Hamilton when you didn’t understand all the lyrics"

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.
