About

AT THE DAWN OF A NEW CENTURY, everything is changing... and anything is possible. Direct from a sold-out extended run at the Kennedy Center, RAGTIME The Musical returns to Broadway in an acclaimed new production that’s as ravishing as it is relevant. Set in a volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, RAGTIME weaves together three distinctly American tales -- that of a stifled suburban mother, an inventive Jewish immigrant, and a daring young Harlem musician -- united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Their compelling stories intertwine to form a rich tapestry of hopes and dreams, struggles and triumphs, rhythm and rhyme, set to an epic, Tony Award®-winning score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens. A colossal stage show based on the classic E. L. Doctorow novel, RAGTIME also features a Tony Award-winning book by Terrence McNally, direction and choreography by Marcia Milgrom Dodge, and a vibrant cast.

    Great show, acoustics not so much

    by PLSta on 5/18/16Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville

    From the very beginning, I was unimpressed with the audio. The speakers were sparce (only in the front?) and undersized. I've been to a number of shows in that theater and know that there is a possibility for better sound. It was a big deal to me and to the people I had talked to. I missed a lot of the words, for example, even though I was in the middle. The performers were awesome. Mother was such a delight to listen to. Liked the story. Music was not memorable or catchy. That's the biggest disappointment. It was a fun performance, but not worth the price.

    Ragtime was stellar!

    by JoyRic on 5/17/16Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville

    BRAVO!! My favorite thing in life is to attend a Broadway production close enough to see the actors spit. The best of the best in theater. And I was in the front row tonight for that magical experience. Only it was at the Tennessee Theater for "Ragtime." Outstanding production! Staging & direction was crisp, voices highly trained, great set & phenomenal story. Chris Sams who plays the lead, Coalhouse Walker, Jr was sublime! Such power & movement & controlled emotion - the man's a star. Reminds me of when I saw Ben Vereen on Broadway in Jesus Christ Superstar & fell madly in love with his incredible talent. A standing ovation well deserved. If you have tix you're in for a real treat! Still swooning. Might be the best thing I've seen in Ktown

    Ragtime on Tour

    by broadwaygal50 on 5/17/16Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville

    We were in the 5th row lower orchestra and were unable to hear the actors. The song words were difficult to understand. We left at the intermission.

    Difficult to hear

    by Anonymous on 5/17/16Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville

    The sound was not very good at the Tennessee Theater for a musical. I have been to concerts and movies there and it is fine. Actors were difficult to hear in speaking parts and music was less effective because it was just not loud enough

    Great Cast-But Poor Sound

    by rd1ldy on 5/17/16Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville

    Great cast, but often hard to hear. Costumes were very good authentic. Too bad the rest of the score didn't live up to the opening number

    Ragtime was fantastic.

    by moreller on 5/8/16Coronado Performing Arts Center - Rockford

    We had been searching for some time to find a production of Ragtime. It was worth the wait. The music and singing was terrific. Wish we could see it again.

    Ragtime is still the best musical!!!!!

    by orchestra2 on 5/7/16Coronado Performing Arts Center - Rockford

    I saw this play in 1998 in New York with the original cast. I'll never forget crying, during Audra McDonald's performance of "Your Daddy's Son". The cast touring now, was amazing! I would love to see it again!

    Beautiful show, beautiful performances

    by lindsaylovesred on 5/4/16Hershey Theatre - Hershey

    This production of Ragtime was fantastic. The choreography was well done. Mother was amazing. Tateh sang well, but his character was a little disappointingly cartoonish. Overall, we loved it and would recommend it to anyone.

    ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH

    by Inkface on 5/4/16Hershey Theatre - Hershey

    The performance was wonderfully staged, using less than I remember and using it well, the performances were wonderfully performed, the music was as wonderful as I remember, the story powerful, riveting, poignant . . . and if I am using the word wonderful often it's because it was! I saw it on Broadway and loved it and enjoyed this performance no less and perhaps more, because it was too long a wait. The tour on the East Coast was very limited. Glad I saw it at Hershey. Never been to this theatre before and it's lovely. Will look forward to visiting it again. If "Ragtime" pops up again, I will revisit it as well.

    My new favorite musical!

    by michel1031 on 5/4/16Hershey Theatre - Hershey

    Ragtime is a story that needs to be told, and this staging of it is excellent. I've seen this tour eight times, and it gets better every time. The performers' voices and acting are beyond reproach. I found myself in tears several times during the performance and then again at the end for the sheer power of it. Wow. The ratings guide gets it right. Amazing!

    Ragtime

    by FeltyMcKnickers on 5/4/16Hershey Theatre - Hershey

    The performances were superb. I love this show because it's emotionally stirring and that came through in the singing and acting. I was disappointed that the music was recorded (no pit orchestra), but the cast did a good job with the timing.

    Ragtime has aged very well!

    by Anonymous on 5/4/16Hershey Theatre - Hershey

    Despite being a fairly old show, Ragtime is still an incredible experience! The actors were fantastic, the music was great, the sets were creative and different, the lighting and sound were on point, and the costumes were outstanding! There is not much more you can ask of a Broadway production. Five out of five, two thumbs up! Go see it!

    Heartbreaking but amazing

    by Sierradawn7 on 5/3/16Hershey Theatre - Hershey

    This is such an emotional show. It takes your heart out of your chest, but in the best way possible. It's definitely a show you never forget.

    A must see

    by Ragtimefan27 on 5/2/16Hershey Theatre - Hershey

    An unbelievable show- my favorite musical of all times, and this cast did not disappoint. Strikingly relevant themes for today, set in a turn-of-the-century context. Brilliant music and a poignant script.

    Ragtime rings true!

    by 1Phoebe on 5/1/16Hershey Theatre - Hershey

    Having heard the music from the show, I was excited to see the show. Little did I know that it was a high impact drama with a great book! The dancing and the acting took no back seat to the music either. Nothing escapist about this show, so don't go expecting light-hearted entertainment.

    RagTime

    by Anonymous on 5/1/16Hershey Theatre - Hershey

    This was our fourth time seeing Ragtime. We first saw Ragtime in NYC when it came to Broadway. Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra MacDonald and Marian Mazzi. A blockbuster, but it's competition was Lion King that year. Our second time to Ragtime at the Hershey Theater and once at The Fulton Theater in Lancaster PA. Great story and wonderful music.
