RAGTIME THE MUSICAL
- March 14-30, 2025
- Byers Theatre
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. Winner of Tony Awards® for its music and its book, RAGTIME is filled with pageantry, emotion and hope, bursting onto the stage like no other musical before or since.
This production contains adult language, violence and adult themes that reflect the racial and social tensions of the era. The show is presented as written, as intended by the show’s authors and our production’s director. Ragtime The Musical is recommended for ages 13+.
