This musical is set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New
York, weaving together three distinctly American tales – that of a stifled
upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem
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.

Written by the award-winning composer/lyricist team of Stephen Flaherty and
Lynn Ahrens *(Once on This Island*, *Seussical,* and *Lucky Stiff*), 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.
