Written by the award-winning composer/lyricist team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens ("Once On This Island," "Seussical," "Lucky Stiff"), noted playwright Terrence McNally, ("Kiss of the Spider Woman," "Master Class"), and based on E.L. Doctorow's distinguished novel, 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./p p class="MsoNormal"The Tony-winning score by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty is just as diverse as the melting pot of st1:place w:st="on"st1:country-region w:st="on"America/st1:country-region/st1:place itself. It draws upon many musical styles from the ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the st1:place w:st="on"Lower East Side/st1:place, from bold brass band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems. /p p class="MsoN
