Immigration, capitalism, feminism, intersectionality, and the civil rights: this musical has it all!

Flaherty & Ahren’s 1998 musical Ragtime is a big, expensive show with lots of plot (never Peter’s strong suit) – but we love this musical and what it has to say about kingdoms of power and the kingdom of God.

_________________________________________

Peter & Nathan make some highly controversial claims:

• "Ragtime" is the greatest opening number in Broadway history.


• "Daddy's Son" – Nobody sings this like Broadway’s GOAT, Audra Ann McDonald. Nathan will fight you on this.


• "Henry Ford" & "Wheels of a Dream" – Is Ragtime just an extended commercial for Ford?

And we wonder together about hearing "New Music," listening for resurrection, and what it means to live faithfully "‘Til We Reach That Day."
