On Tuesday, July 14th, Roundabout Theatre Company presented the New York premiere of the new musical The Tin Pan Alley Rag. starring Michael Boatman, Michael Therriault, and Jenny Fellner (Linda English, Pal Joey) as Dorothy Goetz.

The Tin Pan Alley Rag tells the story of an imagined meeting of two of America’s greatest musicians, composer Scott Joplin (Boatman) and songwriter Irving Berlin (Therriault). Both men changed the landscape of music forever with their contributions to the first American musical genre, ragtime. Beneath Joplin and Berlin’s toe-tapping, syncopated rhythms lay fascinating stories of fame, love and loss. In The Tin Pan Alley Rag, these tales come to vivid life and two great icons realize they have more in common than they ever suspected.

Schecter shares his story here.
