- Ragtime will embark on a North American tour beginning in fall 2027, with its opening night at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre in Buffalo, New York.
- Lincoln Center Theater produced the Broadway revival, which has been a sell‑out week after week, grossing over $1 million weekly, and is now extending the production to touring venues.
- Lear deBessonet directs the tour, bringing the acclaimed 2024 Off‑Broadway staging to a larger scale across the U.S. and Canada.
- Kacey Musgraves is also launching a North American tour (as reported by Pitchfork), underscoring a broader wave of high‑profile musical acts hitting the road in 2027.
- Shea’s Buffalo Theatre serves as the tour’s launch venue, marking the first stop before the production moves to additional cities.
Why it matters: Lincoln Center Theater and its producers gain a projected $1 million‑plus weekly gross from the Ragtime revival, while touring venues capture new audiences; the tour’s 2027 launch bolsters post‑pandemic live‑theatre revenue across North America.
