How to channel the Roaring Twenties at The Great Gatsby in London

The Great Gatsby is an immersive play that is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel. As you take your seat at The Great Gatsby, you’ll be greeted by Gatsby’s party guests, including Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker and Nick Carraway. But all eyes are on Jay Gatsby as soon as he walks in the room. During the show, you’ll discover what really happens in West Egg, especially if you’re invited into one of the breakout areas to find out all the Gatsby goss. If you’ve read *The Great Gatsby *or watched the 2013 Baz Luhrmann movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, this is the show for you.

Being an immersive production, it’s no surprise that The Great Gatsby audiences become a part of the performance too. This extends to dressing in theme for the show too, with theatregoers invited to wear outfits that are more suited to 1920 than 2020. From flapper dresses to smart three-piece suits, dress with sophistication and sultriness in mind. So get your The Great Gatsby tickets and look forward to a jazzy night out, old sport.
