Jane D from Twp of Washington on Apr 13, 2026
Great High Energy Show
"My teen had just read the The Great Gatsby in school and loved it, so I figured it would be nice to treat her to the show. She said there were some major differences between the show and the book that led to even stronger emotional attachments to the characters. We absolutely loved the high energy of all the dancers. My daughter said it was exactly how she would have pictured one of the parties at Gatsby's house based on the descriptions in the book. We were not disappointed by anything. The theater was very clean and comfortable. We sat in the Mezzanine section, but there was plenty of leg room and there weren't any issues with blocked views."

"An absolutely BREATHTAKING show, it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time with the plot, songs, dances, sets, and performances. Definitely a "more is more" show. I brought my 11 year old after prepping her a bit (in an age appropriate way) about the story, and she says it was "incredible!""

Samantha Pauly. That’s it.
"I didn’t even realize how big I smiled watching Sam’s Jordan until the end of New Money when my cheeks hurt. What a performer!!! This is such a good production but there’s a special magic whenever she’s on stage. I will be back just for her & everyone should come too!"

Incredible!
"My daughter and I attended the show for her 13th birthday mostly because she loves Jeremy Jordan, and I love the book! (and also Jeremy Jordan). He was even better live than anticipated, but what was such a pleasant surprise for us was everything else. The sets, the costumes, the cast, all of it was show-stopping and visually stunning. We saw several stand-in cast members, and they all blew us away. It is the number one thing we keep going back to when we look back on our time in the city, and say "I can't believe we witnessed that!" This show is 10/10 no matter who is at the helm. Don't hesitate to go! "
