Few Broadway musicals reach as high as Ragtime. Adapted from E.L. Doctorow's celebrated 1975 novel, the show paints a sweeping portrait of America at the turn of the 20th century, braiding together three worlds: Coalhouse Walker Jr., a popular ragtime pianist in Harlem; a well-to-do family in New Rochelle, New York; and Tateh, a Latvian immigrant artist building a new life on the Lower East Side. Historical figures like Harry Houdini, Booker T. Washington, and Henry Ford drift through the story, so the stage feels like a country reinventing itself in real time.
The musical arrived with serious pedigree. Stephen Flaherty wrote the music, Lynn Ahrens the lyrics, and Terrence McNally the book, and after a 1996 premiere in Toronto, Ragtime opened on Broadway on January 18, 1998 as the first show at the brand-new Ford Center for the Performing Arts, the venue now known as the Lyric Theatre. The original run stretched to 834 performances, carried by a lead cast of Brian Stokes Mitchell, Marin Mazzie, Peter Friedman, and Audra McDonald, and by William David Brohn's Tony Award-winning orchestrations for a 26-piece pit orchestra, expanded to 38 players on the original cast recording.
Ragtime has never stayed away for long. The West End hosted the musical at the Piccadilly Theatre in 2003, a Kennedy Center staging moved to Broadway's Neil Simon Theatre in 2009 as the first Broadway revival of any 1990s musical, and Lear deBessonet's 2025 production at Lincoln Center Theater's Vivian Beaumont Theater won the 2026 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. For fans weighing Ragtime tickets, the appeal is straightforward: a big-cast, full-orchestra staging of one of the most ambitious scores of its era.
