Ragtime: The Musical
Terrence McNally
Music by Stephen Flaherty and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Director: David Reynolds
Musical Director: Robert Yenkowski
Scenic and Lighting Design: David Reynolds
Costume Design: Autumn Galka
Written by the award-winning composer/lyricist team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (Once on This Island, Seussical), noted playwright Terrence McNally, and based on E.L. Doctorow's distinguished novel, Ragtime is the winner of the 1998 Tony Awards for Best Score, Book and Orchestrations, and both the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical and Best Score.
At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, this musical tapestry weaves together three distinctly American tales that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young African American musician united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America.
