Ragtime is not only a
powerful portrait of life in turn-of-the-century America, but a relevant tale
for today. The musical intertwines the stories of three extraordinary families,
as they confront history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty,
freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America.
The Tony-winning score
by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty is just as diverse as the melting pot of
America itself. It draws upon many musical styles from the ragtime rhythms of
Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side, from bold brass
band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor
songs and expansive anthems.
