It has been confirmed that the musical featuring a score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, based on the novel by E L Doctorow will run at the Vivian Beaumont Theater, with opening night set for 16 October.

Running for a limited 14 week run, this revival of Ragtime will be the  first production under the company’s new artistic leadership of Lear deBessonet. DeBessonet has previously done a concert mounting at New York City Center in the Autumn of 2024.

Further details about the production have yet to be announced.
