About The Great Gatsby
Don't miss the 1920s glitz and glamour brought to life in The Great Gatsby on the London Coliseum stage, fresh off its Tony Award-winning Broadway run. Book The Great Gatsby tickets on TodayTix.
The Great Gatsby is a musical based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel of the same name. It tells the tale of the lonely and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, who hosts elaborate parties at his Long Island mansion. However, instead of joining in, he pines after Daisy Buchanan, the woman he loved before he became the wealthy man everyone knew him as.
Before it came to the West End, the musical, complete with riotous parties and exciting song and dance numbers, was a success on Broadway. It was a hit with audiences and critics and earned a Tony Award for Best Costume Design in a Musical.

A great show! An amazing story and a wonderful cast!
Devastatingly underwhelming and did not reach its full potential.
The atmousphere was so lively, exciting and sooo cliche for a musical, which is the best in my opinion. The choreography is very easy to follow with eyes and very interesting. But for me, it was the colours that stayed with me- I know see great gatsby in anything similar to it in terms of colour schemes. Obviously the music is heavenly and something I still listen to this day- my favourites are Roaring On and New Money.
