I love the musical Ragtime. I saw it in Toronto in its pre-Broadway run. I saw it on the opening night on Broadway and then returned 5 more times to see it again. In 2003, Toby’s-The Dinner Theatre of Columbia mounted a stupendous Helen Hayes Award winning production, and I saw it 5 times. The score by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, to me, is the best score written for a musical in the last 15 years. The melodies are gorgeous, the lyrics are poetry.
