Ragtime paints a nostalgic and powerful portrait of life in turn-of-the-century America. Based on E.L. Doctorow's distinguished novel, Ragtime intertwines three distinct stories that poignantly illustrate history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and love and hate.

Drury Lane Theatre presents Hairspray, the hit musical based on John Waters' cult classic film. The Broadway musical won eight Tony Awards in 2003 and inspired a new major motion picture musical. Set in 1960s Baltimore, Hairspray tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a misfit teenager who becomes a local celebrity by dancing on TV's Corny Collins Show. Tracy's love of dancing leads her to become an unlikely heroine, triumphing over both snotty teen queens and racial segregation. Learn More

The was an outstanding production. The music was great (the instruments over shadowed the vocals at times), the acting was outstanding. I only wish I had seen it sooner.

I had seen the movie Ragtime years ago, and had heard some of the songs from the musical, but NOTHING prepared me for the excellence of the performers, the quality of the production, or the power of this play. We were amazed and moved by this.

I took my 2 teenage children to this, and they also thoroughly enjoyed it. I have seen broadway productions, and I would rate the quality of this performance right up there! Drury Lane is a wonderful venue for a production, run, don't walk to this show!

Every cast member was an excellent singer. There was also excellent coreography and costuming. This is a musical with good character exposition. You really get to feel what the characters are feeling.

The standing ovation given at the end of the play said it all. Very nice job.

Description

A note from director Rachel Rockwell
When I first saw Ragtime in one of its pre-Broadway tryouts more than a decade ago, I knew it was a show I wanted to direct. Epic in scale, this story weaves together such historical figures as Harry Houdini, Emma Goldman, JP Morgan, Henry Ford, Booker T. Washington and Evelyn Nesbit with three fictitious families, one white, one black and one immigrant. Its sweeping score and beautifully woven plot so accurately portray the human condition that more than a century later we see the characters' struggles and triumphs still mirror our own.
