Ragtime

0 upcoming performances in New York

Now playing at the Marquis Theatre, *Ragtime* is a stage musical by Stephen Flaherty, Lynn Ahrens, and Terrence McNally, adapted from E. L. Doctorow’s novel. Set in early-20th-century New York, it tracks intersecting lives across class and race as the city is remade by immigration, industry, and political unrest. The show arrived on Broadway in 1998, part of a period when large-cast historical musicals returned to prominence in Midtown. Its clear-eyed structure makes private family stories feel inseparable from public history.
