New York City
Ragtime paints a nostalgic and powerful portrait of life at the dawn of 20th century America. This epic new musical intertwines the lives and dreams of three New York families with historical figures including Henry Ford, Harry Houdini, J.P. Morgan, and Booker T. Washington in a weaving of fact and fiction. With a score as diverse as America’s melting pot legacy, the show draws upon traditional Jewish folk sounds, Vaudevillian compositions, and Joplin and Jazz to capture the soul and sentiment of this turning point in our history.
