The recording is produced by three-time Grammy winner Sean Patrick Flahaven along with Tony-winning songwriters Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. The album features the original orchestrations by the late William David Brohn, played by a 28-piece orchestra under music director James Moore.
Henry, Levy and Uranowitz are joined in the cast by Nichelle Lewis, Colin Donnell, Ben Levi Ross, Shaina Taub, John Clay III, Rodd Cyrus, Nick Barrington and Tabitha Lawing, backed by a powerhouse ensemble of nearly 30.
Directed by Lear deBessonet and featuring a Tony-winning book by Terrence McNally and Ahrens and Flaherty’s soul-stirring score, “Ragtime” is the sweeping musical adaptation of E. L. Doctorow’s classic novel. It follows three fictional families in pursuit of the American Dream at the dawn of the 20th century: Pianist Coalhouse Walker, Jr. (Henry) and his beloved Sarah (Lewis), immigrant Tateh (Uranowitz) and his little girl, and a wealthy family led by matriarch Mother (Levy). All are chasing the same dream, if only they can hold onto it.
