Ragtime is coming to Tulsa PAC. The musical features a book by Terrence McNally, music by Stephen Flaherty, and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and is based on the novel "Ragtime" by E.L. Doctorow. The show is directed by Sara Phoenix with Music Direction by Mark Frie and Choreography by Jen Alden. Performances run August 8-24.
At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing … and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together — 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. With a Tony-winning score featuring musical theatre show-stoppers, Ragtime is filled with pageantry, emotion, and hope, bursting onto the stage like no other musical.
Ragtime 9 piece Orchestration is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
