At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing… and anything is possible.

Based on the celebrated novel, the Tony Award-winning Ragtime shines a light on all that has and hasn’t changed in America since the turn of the 20th century. In the early 1900s, optimism and possibility are as prevalent as burgeoning racial and social volatility. The lives of an upper-class white mother, a Jewish immigrant, and a bold African American musician from Harlem intersect in ways that profoundly affect their families’ fates.

The Tony-winning score
is just as diverse as the melting pot of America itself, drawing upon many musical styles from the ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side, from bold brass band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems. A truly unique and powerful portrait of America. 

Ragtime is the winner of the 1998 Tony Awards for Best Score, Book and Orchestrations
