It was the music of something beginning… Ragtime is a sweeping musical adaption of E.L. Doctorow’s novel that follows three fictional families in pursuit of the American Dream at the dawn of the 20th Century: Black pianist Coalhouse Walker, Jr. and his beloved Sarah, Jewish immigrant Tateh and his little girl, and a wealthy white family led by matriarch Mother. All grasping for the same dream, if only they can hold on to it. Featuring a lush score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, a stirring book by Terrence McNally and original orchestrations by William David Brohn, all of whom won Tony Awards for their work, RAGTIME weaves fictional narratives with real historical figures and events, creating a rich tapestry that blurs the line between personal struggle and national identity, making history feel both intimate and epic.

Q&A

Q: Are there age restrictions for attending Ragtime on Broadway?

A: There's no specific age restriction for Ragtime, but it's recommended for ages 10 and up due to some mature themes. Kids might not get everything, but the music is captivating! Just keep in mind that the show can be a bit long, running around 2 hours and 30 minutes, including an intermission.

Q: What should I wear to Ragtime on Broadway?

A: New York theater is usually pretty casual, but you might want to dress up a bit for Broadway! A nice blouse or dress and slacks is perfect. Keep in mind, it can get chilly inside the theater, so maybe bring a light jacket. Just be comfy enough to sit for a while!

Q: What’s the parking situation like for the theater?

A: Parking in NYC can be a hassle! There are a few garages nearby, but they fill up fast and can be pricey—expect to pay around $30-$50 for a few hours. I recommend taking public transport if you can, it’s much easier, or use a rideshare app to avoid the parking stress.

Just saw Ragtime and it was AMAZING!

I went to see Ragtime last week in NYC, and wow, just wow! The music is hauntingly beautiful, and the performances were top-notch. I loved how they wove historical figures into the story. If you’re considering this as a gift, it’s definitely worth it. Such a powerful message about the American Dream! Would totally recommend it for anyone who appreciates musical theatre.

Looking to gift Ragtime tickets for my parents!

My parents love Broadway shows, and I was thinking about getting them tickets to Ragtime. Do you think they’d enjoy it? They’re in their 60s and appreciate good stories and music. Any tips on where to get the best seats?
