Overview
- The revival picked up Best Revival of a Musical at the Tony Awards and Joshua Henry won Best Leading Actor for his role in Ragtime, a win announced on June 7.
- The Lincoln Center production opened on Broadway on October 16, 2025 and is scheduled to run at the Vivian Beaumont Theater through August 2, 2026.
- The staging reunites Ragtime’s original creative team — music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and a book by Terrence McNally — under director Lear deBessonet with original orchestrations and a 28-piece orchestra.
- Cast and creators say the revival is drawing strong responses from audiences because its turn-of-the-century story about race and immigration resonates with contemporary viewers, producing frequent standing ovations and repeat attendance.
- Producers have announced a national tour for 2027 and the Tony wins are likely to boost ticket demand and expand the show’s reach beyond New York.
