Tragic, poignant and ultimately triumphant, Ragtime is a modern classic. It is the turn of the twentieth century in New York. An era is exploding. A century is spinning. And the people are moving in rhythm and rhyme to the music of Ragtime. The story of three groups in America, represented by Coalhouse Walker Jr, a Harlem musician; Mother and her family in New Rochelle; and Tateh, a Jewish immigrant who has come to America with his daughter seeking a new life. It features many historical figures, including Harry Houdini, Booker T. Washington, JP Morgan and Henry Ford.
The timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, and hope and despair, make this a theatre experience not to be missed.
Last season's Regents Park Open Air Theatre Production of Crazy for You received more five star reviews than any other West End musical that year, and previous productions of Hello, Dolly! and Into the Woods each won the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival.
