The new NYC production of "Ragtime" is an epic portrait of American life in the early 20th century. Joshua Henry stars as Coalhouse Walker Jr., a celebrated pianist. Caissie Levy stars as Mother, a wealthy woman living in New Rochelle. And Brandon Uranowitz stars as Tateh, a poor Jewish immigrant from Latvia who arrives in America with his young daughter.

"Ragtime" is running at Lincoln Center through January 4.
