Ragtime Tickets & Information

Ragtime is a sweeping musical adaption of E.L. Doctorow’s novel that follows three fictional families in pursuit of the American Dream at the dawn of the 20th Century: Black pianist Coalhouse Walker, Jr. and his beloved Sarah, Jewish immigrant Tateh and his little girl, and a wealthy white family led by matriarch Mother. All grasping for the same dream, if only they can hold on to it.

Featuring a lush score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, a stirring book by Terrence McNally and original orchestrations by William David Brohn, all of whom won Tony Awards for their work, Ragtime weaves fictional narratives with real historical figures and events, creating a rich tapestry that blurs the line between personal struggle and national identity, making history feel both intimate and epic.

Incoming LCT Artistic Director Lear deBessonet (Tony-nominated for her celebrated 2022 revival of Into the Woods) directs a new production, envisioned for the grand Vivian Beaumont stage, starring Tony nominee Joshua Henry (Into the WoodsCarousel), Olivier and Grammy nominee Caissie Levy (HairFrozen), and Tony winner Brandon Uranowitz (Leopoldstadt, LCT’s Falsettos).

Ragtime on Broadway returns as a landmark American musical, inviting audiences to the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center for a limited-run revival that feels both timeless and urgently contemporary.

Perfect for theatre lovers seeking a thought-provoking night out in NYC, Ragtime offers a must-see mix of lush orchestration, striking staging, and emotionally charged storytelling that resonates with conversations about identity, justice, and belonging today.

About The Vivian Beaumont Theater

The Vivian Beaumont Theater opened to the public on October 21, 1965. Designed by the renowned architect Eero Saarinen and named for Vivian Beaumont Allen, a prominent New York philanthropist, the Beaumont was originally the home of the now-defunct Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center, which closed in 1973 after nine seasons (two of which were presented in a temporary theatre erected in Washington Square Park). From 1973 to 1977, Joseph Papp’s New York Shakespeare Festival was in residence at the Beaumont. From 1978 through 1985, the Beaumont was mostly rented to outside producers or was not used at all; a new resident company was formed in 1979, but it only presented one Beaumont season in 1980–81.

The Vivian Beaumont Theater has 1,200 seats and is Lincoln Center Theater‘s only Broadway theatre.
