Twenty years after its premiere, the great American musical “Ragtime” returned to L.A. in a run at the Pasadena Playhouse January 28 through March 3, 2019.

Nominated for 13 Tony Awards including Best Musical, “Ragtime” tells the story of three families at the turn of the 20th Century in pursuit of the American dream. The award-winning score uses ragtime rhythms to paint a portrait of the people who built this country with the hopes for a brighter tomorrow.
