Amazing!
"This was my first broadway show, I had a seat in the second row so I was scared that I would be too close, but it was perfect! The show was great, and Ryan and Chynas duet almost made me cry. I got to meet some of the cast after the show and they signed my playbill which made my day!"

Absolutely breathtaking!
"The Great Gatsby on Broadway was an unforgettable experience. The costumes were absolutely stunning, and the sets were so beautifully designed and realistic that I truly felt transported back to the 1920s. The entire cast was incredibly talented, delivering such powerful, emotional, and meaningful performances. Every detail brought the story to life in the most spectacular way. From the dazzling visuals to the heartfelt performances, this production exceeded my expectations. A truly magical Broadway experience that I would highly recommend! After the show, my daughter was able to meet the cast and get their autographs. They were all so incredibly kind, warm, and gracious, taking the time to make the experience truly memorable for her! "

Superb Casting and Wonderful Talent
"The casting for this show is superb! Every cast member from start to finish gave their all. They drew me in to the point I felt as if I were actually experiencing the story. The dancing was finely executed as well, especially the tap dancing number! If you want to see the characters of the famed book come to life on a beautiful stage on Broadway this is the show for you. It has it all and more!"

Gatsby on Stage
"Loved the costumes, the settings, and the music/singing and dancing. I felt the show was incredibly true to the book and the film. That was what impressed me most, and the attention to the details. In terms of the period and the characters, although this is not in any way a criticism, merely an observation, the choice of actors seemed at first not authentic. However, the actors were all marvelous. "

F Scott! They did you proud.
"What I liked? The musicality….could Ryan McCartan and China Anne McClain’s voices mesh any more beautifully?? And it just kept building. From her first notes…birdsong. Seriously. The sets were stunning…from the intrigue of the green light to the shirts above the bed. What??? They’re real? Costumes…gorgeous and so classy…why does no one dress up anymore?? Nostalgic, captivating, exciting…all the good words. Considering that possibly Nick was the only decent person in the whole story, how is it I felt so good walking out of that theatre? "
