It was a great story and very good acting for all cast members. The story was told with so much emotion. The tickets are pricey so try to find one that is on sale or discounted.
Visually stunning from the dance to the costumes to the set. Really creative use of staging at all times. Spent the whole show riveted! Felt like a creative feast! Gorgeous harmonies and vocals throughout. Felt the sound could have blown me away more- everything felt slightly muted but that’s me being super nitpicky. It was honestly such an opulent treat! Can’t imagine a better story to watch in NYC
It was a nice show and fun was had by all

More information about The Great Gatsby
One of the most beloved American novels of all time, The Great Gatsby is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s magnum opus. In the decades since its 1925 publication, the novel became a fixture of high school literature classes and inspired countless critically acclaimed adaptations, including a 2013 Baz Luhrmann film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan, and Nick Carraway are the main characters in this timeless tale of desire, ambition, and class in the 1920s, when Gatsby's quest to rekindle his old flame with Daisy upends the lives of everyone around him.
Director Marc Bruni, known for the Tony Award-winning Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, stages The Great Gatsby musical. Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen's original score infuses the jazzy music style of the '20s with a contemporary flair, and Kait Kerrigan's adapted book brings the Roaring Twenties to the 2020s.
What to watch for
- Choreographer Dominique Kelley is a two-time Henry Award and two-time Broadway World Award winner who's worked with pop stars like Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Usher, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, and P!nk.
- The Great Gatsby features many famous staples of the 1920s, like flappers (liberated women who wore shorter hair and hemlines), Art Deco architecture (defined by its geometric shapes and sleek designs), and jazz music (as the Jazz Age came into full swing).
- This Great Gatsby musical is one of two that premiered at the same time: Another one titled Gatsby: An American Myth premiered in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2024. It features a book by Pulitzer Prize winner Martyna Majok, music by Florence Welch (of Florence + The Machine) and Thomas Bartlett, and direction by Hadestown Tony winner Rachel Chavkin.
