Ragtime is a sweeping Broadway musical based on E.L. Doctorow's 1975 historical novel of the same name. With music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and book by Terrence McNally, the show depicts three parallel stories set in turn-of-the-20th-century New York: a wealthy white family from New Rochelle, a Black ragtime musician named Coalhouse Walker Jr., and a Jewish immigrant named Tateh. The show is celebrated for its rich orchestrations, powerful themes of race, class, and immigration, and iconic songs.
The upcoming performance at the Fulton Opera House in Lancaster on October 18, 2026, marks a significant date for fans of this acclaimed musical. This venue has hosted numerous performances of Ragtime, showcasing its elaborate period costumes and cinematic staging that depict early 20th century America. The production is known for its large-scale ensemble cast and multi-level stage design.
Ragtime features an impressive setlist with approximately 30 songs, including favorites such as "Wheels of a Dream," "Make Them Hear You," and "Goodbye, My Love." The show has received critical acclaim, winning 4 Tony Awards in 1998 for Best Musical Score, Best Book, Best Orchestrations, and Best Scenic Design. Audiences can expect a positive live performance vibe with standing ovations common for the powerful anthem "Make Them Hear You."
The Fulton Opera House is renowned for its intimate atmosphere and exceptional acoustics, making it an ideal venue for theatrical performances. The seating arrangement includes various sections that cater to different preferences. The best sections are typically located in the center orchestra area, providing an unobstructed view of the stage and enhancing the overall experience.
However, some seats in the rear balcony may not offer the same level of visibility or sound quality as those closer to the stage. For those seeking a balance between price and experience, the front mezzanine offers a good compromise with decent views at a more affordable rate.
