KENNELLY REVIEW: Ragtime at Cain Park
by Laura Kennelly 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

The swiftly-moving *Ragtime: The Musical*, now at the Cain Park Alma Theater, gives a musical snapshot of early 1900s in New York City. Based on E. L. Doctorow’s fine and dramatic novel with the same name, it features book by Terrence McNally, music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. The Cain Park production, directed by Joanna May Cullinan, pays appropriate homage to the classic America-as-melting-pot narrative (at least to the New York City, East Coast version).

Review of "Ragtime" at Cain Park
by Bob Abelman 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Cain Park’s exquisitely pared down ‘Ragtime’ finds the core humanity that drives this musical Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Epic. That’s how the $10 million musical “Ragtime” was promoted and critiqued when it arrived on Broadway in 1998. It was epic in size with its 50-person cast, sumptuous sets and extravagant costuming. And it was epic in scope with its telling of the state of the American Dream at the dawn of the 20th century. While the tale remains the same in this Cain Park production, everything has been pared down to a bare elliptical stage, an intimate in-the-round staging, a 26-member cast and a 10-piece band led by Jordan Cooper’s wand and keyboard. And it works beautifully. For more of this review, go to: www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/bob_abelman/
