Ragtime, the Tony Award-winning musical, transports you to the vibrant and tumultuous turn-of-the-century America. Set against the backdrop of historical events like the building of the Ellis Island Immigration Station and the rise of celebrity culture, the interwoven stories of three distinct families explore themes of race, class, and the pursuit of the American Dream.
Through a powerful score that blends ragtime, blues, and traditional musical theater styles, Ragtime examines the complexities of the American experience. The characters' journeys intertwine in unexpected ways, highlighting the social and racial tensions simmering beneath the surface of a nation on the cusp of change.
