Bay Street Theater’s musical event of the summer, “Ragtime The Musical,” is now in rehearsals and will be the grand finale of the 2022 mainstage season. Previews of the Tony-award-winning musical, directed by Will Pomerantz, begin Tuesday, August 2, with opening night on Saturday, August 6.
With music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and book by Terrence McNally, “ Ragtime” is the epic musical adaptation of E.L. Doctorow’s classic novel that captures the American experience at the turn of the 20th century. The worlds of a wealthy white couple, a Jewish immigrant father and his daughter, and an African American ragtime musician intertwine in this sweeping musical about America’s Gilded Age when the nation was mixing, boiling, and changing.
Pomerantz, Bay Street Theater’s associate artistic director, brings together the team with which he created Bay Street’s production of “Evita” to create a visionary new production of this Tony Award-winning contemporary classic to the East End.
The cast includes Kyrie Courter (Sarah); Derrick Davis (Coalhouse); Lora Lee Gayer (Mother); Zachary Prince (Tateh); Daniel Jenkins (Father); Harrison Bryan (Younger Brother); Davon Williams (Booker T. Washington); Clyde Voce (Matthew Henson); Rachel Parker (Sarah’s Friend); Taylor Jackson (Harlem Woman); Cathryn Wake (Evelyn Nesbit); Victoria Huston-Elem (Emma Goldman); Ryan Hunt (Willie Conklin); Cecelia Ticktin (Kathleen), Will Hantz (The Boy); Sonnie Betts (The Girl); and Ian Lowe and Brianna Kaleen as Swings.
Tickets are available starting at $49.99 at 631-725-9500 or baystreet.org. Bay Street Theater is on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor.
