RagtimeBook by Terrence McNally; Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens Music by Stephen Flaherty Based on the novel, Ragtime, by E.L. Doctorow Masterful and musical intertwining of the history of three families as they confront timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America. Based on a distinguished book by E. L. Doctorow, fictional characters and actual personages - whites, African-Americans, immigrants and celebrities - populate the turn-of-the-20th century, the rich narrative tapestry as varied as the musical rhythms that contained in the magnificent score.
