In 2009, the Kennedy Center’s production of Ragtime moved to Broadway. Adapted from E.L. Doctorow’s best-selling novel, this is the epic tale of three families caught in the cross currents of a changing century and the conflicts of the American dream.
The revival was directed and choreographed by Marcia Milgrom Dodge.
Subsequently, the show was performed in concert at New York City’s Avery Fisher Hall on February 18, 2013, directed by Stafford Arima.

Broadway revival production opened November 15, 2009 at the Neil Simon Theater.

“The score, which weaves variations on the rag form throughout, gives the show a natural momentum and unity, the aural embodiment of something fresh and unsettling in a stale and settled world.”

-New York Times

“Musical-theater storytelling at its most vibrant.”

-VARIETY

“A RAGTIME for the ages!”
