My first Broadway show and love it!
"This was my first Broadway show and I heard a lot of of great things from different people. However, that was not enough to prepare me for this mind-blowing experience. Costumes, music, scenery, I wish I had proper words to describe it. My teenage kids also saw it with me and were just speechless. Definitely you have to have it on your bucket list to see it at least once, and I will come again."

Best Broadway since……..
"The Great Gatsby on Broadway is absolutely incredible. The music is top-tier, the singing is powerful, and the acting is spot-on across the board. It pulls you in right away and keeps the energy high the entire show. Visually stunning and emotionally strong, it feels like classic Broadway done right. Honestly, this is the best Broadway show I’ve seen since the era of Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, and The Lion King. A must see!"

Samantha Pauly is the heart of this show
"With respect to the entire cast, the show is not the same when Sam Pauly is not performing. No one brings that energy or comedic timing like she does, and Jordan Baker ends up being a wildly different character. See this show as many times as you can while she’s in it because New Money cannot be done by anyone else. "

All in
"Combination of outstanding set changes, vocals and story telling by the cast members which kept everyone engaged. Flew from DFW with my 14 year old son who plans on being on a Broadway stage soon. Of course Jeremy Jordan did what he does best - genuine and committed to the character. Would watch again. "

Samantha Pauly is the best part of this show!!
"Let me be very honest... Jeremy Jordan is the reason I initially walked through these theater doors, and Samantha Pauly is the reason I’ve come back weekly ever since then! I highly recommend coordinating your plans to make sure you catch her as Jordan Baker, because absolutely NO ONE can do New Money or deliver Jordan’s comedy like she can. Jeremy will sing his face off but Samantha’s timing, talent and flawless stage presence will capture your attention every time she’s in a scene. I hope they leave her cast in this show as long as she is willing to be Jordan Baker, as I truly can’t imagine anyone else doing it justice. Go, go, GOOOOOOO see Samantha Pauly!!!"

Magnificent
"So impressed with the set changes. Singing was amazing. The railing in front of us was too high for 5’2” persons. It was the first row in the mezzanine."

Jeremy Jordan is incredible
"The show tells the Great Gatsby so clearly and beautifully. It has themes of sex and mild violence, which is why I wouldn’t recommend it for children. The cast was all talented, but Jeremy Jordan’s voice is frankly otherworldly and heavenly. He completely made the show for me. "

Literally one of the best shows on brodway
"The glitz and glam is so over the top and its beautiful. The random things that have been added are very random but fit oh so beautifully, the choreography is spot on, and the vocals in this cast are absolutely jaw dropping and gave me goosebumps the whole show. I can positively say I wish I could experience this show again, I would relive those few hours over and over again if I could. The music is absolutely outstanding. 20/10 Absolutely amazing show. "

Great Gatsby
"We LOVED the show. It had it all plus a few unexpected twists and turns that made it slightly varied from the movie. The actors- singers- dancers were so talented- the set and costuming were all spectacular! It honestly overwhelmed. me with emotion and made me cry happy tears. This show is electric. The production number dancing was out of this world! Captivating in all ways!"

Absolutely amazing!
"I wanted to enjoy a Broadway play with my 18 year old son, and pick something we both were familiar with. The Great Gatsby didn't disappoint! Everything from the music, the costumes and of course the acting was spectacular. We both had a wonderful experience, which I think is impressive for an 18 year old and a 49 year old mom to both enjoy as much as we did. I /we highly recommend! "
