Why see Ragtime?
The Acclaimed Musical Returns
Starring Joy Woods, Shaina Taub, Colin Donnell and Ben Levi Ross!
One of the most acclaimed musicals of modern times is back for this gala presentation from New York City Center! The winner of four Tonys during its 1998 Broadway debut production, Ragtime is a grand diorama of early 20th Century American life, featuring appearances from some of the most important figures of the day, including Houdini and Henry Ford, all shot through with the music of ragtime.
Memorable musical theatre classics including "Wheels of a Dream," "Back to Before," and "Your Daddy's Son,", punctuate the intersecting story of an African-American family, a Jewish immigrant family, and a wealthy suburban WASP family. Brought together in the aftermath of a crime, they interact and influence each other with unexpectedly emotional results.
