About this performance

Program: The Great Gatsby (musical).

F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless novel comes alive in this dazzling theatrical adaptation that captures the excess, glamour, and tragedy of the Jazz Age. The Great Gatsby has been reimagined for the stage multiple times over the decades, with this production bringing the story of Jay Gatsby's obsessive pursuit of the American Dream—and Daisy Buchanan—to vivid theatrical life. Set against the backdrop of Prohibition-era Long Island, the story explores themes of wealth, love, corruption, and the hollowness beneath the glittering surface of the Roaring Twenties.

This production promises to immerse audiences in the opulent world of West Egg through spectacular staging, period-authentic costumes, and music that evokes the era's intoxicating energy. Expect lavish party scenes that practically shimmer with champagne and jazz, contrasted with intimate moments that reveal the characters' deeper longings and disappointments. The theatrical adaptation allows for creative staging that can bring Fitzgerald's rich symbolism—the green light, the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg, the ash heaps—into striking visual focus. Whether you're familiar with the novel or discovering the story for the first time, this production offers both the spectacle of the era and the emotional depth that has made Gatsby an enduring masterpiece.

This national tour brings the production to premier venues across the country, from the historic Orpheum theatres to modern performing arts centers. The tour's extensive reach—spanning from coast to coast with stops in major cultural hubs—demonstrates the enduring appeal of Gatsby's story and ensures that audiences nationwide can experience this theatrical interpretation. Each venue on the tour offers its own distinct atmosphere, but all provide the scale and technical capabilities necessary to fully realize the production's ambitious vision.
