Review: RAGTIME at Marriott Theatre Pictured: The cast of RAGTIME. Photo by Liz Lauren. A music genre described as “a rhythmic base of metric affirmation, and a melody of metric denial,” RAGTIME leaves me with a sense of displacement in the production currently running at Marriott Theatre. A musical, the likes of which my eyes and ears rarely get to feast on, whose perfectly executed theatrical elements make you beam in delight of how quite awesome “the American musical” can be, also manages to wrap up a message of turbulent relations in a neat little white bow sprinkled with a confetti of racial slurs. I thought the time of seeing reality through rose tinted glasses was coming to an end.
