September 22 to November 1, 2009

E.L. Doctorows sweeping novel comes vividly to life in this Tony Award-winning musical, set against the backdrop of the ragtime craze in New York City. In it, three disparate families intertwine: a wealthy white couple; a Jewish immigrant father and his motherless daughter; and an African American ragtime musician who teaches them all about the surprising interconnections of the human heart, the limitations of justice and the unsettling consequences of dreams permanently deferred. Historical figures like Harry Houdini, J.P. Morgan and Emma Goldman also inhabit this stirring epic, but it is American popular music that carries the story, including marches, cakewalks and — of course — ragtime.

  • My high school did this show when I was a freshman, I was In the chorus. Its one of my fav shows

  • I cried all 3 times I saw it. Amazing :D

  • Looks like a great production!

  • My high school put on this show when I was a sophmore and I was in the chorus. I love this show.

  • I have seen this show twice in touring companies - I don;t think they come close to the capabilities of a Broadway production

    I am searching for front row, Right Mezzanine right now, for a future production - I have to see it on Broadway to appreciate this already amazing show
