Featuring a sweeping score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, a stirring book by Terrence McNally, and lush original orchestrations by William David Brohn—all of whom won Tony Awards for their work—Ragtime weaves fictional narratives with real historical figures and events, creating a rich tapestry that blurs the line between personal struggle and national identity, making history feel both intimate and epic.

The album was produced by three-time GRAMMY^® Award winner Sean Patrick Flahaven and four-time GRAMMY^® nominees Ahrens and Flaherty. The album was recorded, edited, and mixed by GRAMMY^® winner Ian Kagey and mastered by multiple GRAMMY^® winner Oscar Zambrano with art direction by Derek Bishop.

The 2-LP vinyl will be released in three color variants: “Lady Liberty Green” for wide release; “America,” available exclusively at Barnes & Noble; and “Ragtime Red,” available exclusively at Lincoln Center Theater and Creative Goods.
