What's Ragtime About?

Ragtime is a 1998 Tony Award-winning musical that explores themes of racial inequities, police brutality, racism, immigration, and feminism. Set in the early 1900s, the story brings together strangers from Harlem, New Rochelle, and Eastern Europe as they wrestle with American idealism and the haunting melodies of inevitable transformation.

Historical Context

The show is set against the backdrop of Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, Evelyn Nesbit and Harry Houdini's stardom, and the introduction of the Ford Model T. It's an era of great change and upheaval, as African Americans like Booker T. Washington and Emma Goldman work towards social justice.

Storyline

The story follows four families - the Black Americans from Harlem, the White suburbanites of New Rochelle, and the Eastern European Immigrants - as they navigate their lives in a rapidly changing America. From the construction of a new house on Broadway Avenue to the struggles of an anarchist like Emma Goldman, Ragtime is a powerful exploration of American ideals.
