Showing the struggles each one of them faces when their different communities collide, Ragtime delves into the question of race, politics, class and gender politics in this moving and eye-opening musical.
Houston's celebrated Theatre Under The Stars musical theatre company brings their 50th Anniversary season to a rousing close with a soaring tribute to master choreographer Jerome Robbins and his enduring legacy. Directed and choreographed by the man itself, the original production of Jerome Robbins' Broadway premiered on Broadway in 1989 and earned the celebrated dance leader his fifth Tony for best direction.
Sarofim Hall is part of the Hobby Center For The Performing Arts complex.
Part of Houston's Hobby Center, Sarofim Hall's most impressive feature is its celestial domed ceiling, which replicates the Texas night sky through the use of thousands of fibre optic lights. Under this starry canopy, the venue hosts numerous Broadway shows every year, as well as productions from its resident company, the aptly named Theatre Under the Stars.
