    This acclaimed musical won 1998 Tony Awards for Best Score, Book and Orchestrations, and won both the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical and Best Score. Created by the award-winning composer/lyricist team of Flaherty Ahrens (Seussical, Lucky Stiff, My Favorite Year, and Once on this Island), Ragtime paints a nostalgic, powerful portrait of life in turn of the century America. Based on E.L. Doctorow’s novel (winner of several literary awards including the National Book Critics Circle Award), the score is just as diverse as the Melting Pot of America that it seeks to recreate. The music draws upon traditional folk sounds to color the haunting music and yearning lyrics of the immigrants, Vaudeville’s outrageous style to capture the spectacle of Evelyn Nesbit, and Joplin and Jazz to invoke the enlivened spirit of Harlem. With a book by Terrance McNally (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Master Class), the production features such show stopping songs as “Getting Ready Rag,” “Your Daddy’s Son,” “Wheels of a Dream,” “Till We Reach That Day,” and “Make Them Hear You.”
