Exactly what I was hoping for
"I didn't know a lot about this show, but really wanted to try a show I hadn't seen. We loved it - China Anne McClain was phenomenal. We loved the music, the sets, all of it. I'm so glad we picked this!"

100% a go for Gatsby!
"Enjoyable from start to finish… and follows the story pretty much to a “T”… I even picked up on a thing or two I had missed over the years in having read or seeing the story on the big screen. The actors were truly great… phenomenal voices… kudos to all involved. If in NYC… this is definitely a must see!"

Excellent presentation
"It was a very pleasing production. We especially enjoyed the tech aspects. Wow! Musically some of the voices lacked professional refinement in my estimation but it didn’t detract from the overall performance. My opinion only. "

Gatsby is a romantic hero or a tragic fool

Fabulous music/ainging
"I really enjoyed the actors and how well they could sing. The stage crew did an amazing job with the set changes and the orchestra was fantastic. It’s a very catchy intriguing show, but I don’t believe it suitable for children. "

More people should see this show
"This was our second time seeing it. We saw it when it first came out with Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada and loved it. When I heard Eva was coming back and performing with her husband Reeve Carney as Jay Gatsby, I knew I had to see it again. Corbin Blue joined the cast as Nick, and Samantha Pauly from the original cast as Jordan. Both were so good. Reeve's voice isn't as strong as Jeremy's but I've always liked the quality of Reeve's voice and it blends so well with Eva's. Their chemistry as real life husband and wife was fantastic to watch. It was an amazing performance! Highly recommend for everyone to see this show!"

We are glad to have seen it.
"The sets and costumes were fantastic. Musicians perfect. Actors/singers were great, although sometimes I could not understand the words that they were singing. I knew the story, so that didn't matter so much. Music very Disney-esque. "

Great Singing Adaptation of the Book!
"The singing was 5/5! The understudy played Gatsby when we were there, and he was an amazing Gatsby. Like absolutely outstanding! The girl who plays Jordan was also one of the best singers in the musical. The people who played Daisy and Nick really brought the characters to life! So good! Overall, I would recommend this to anyone!"
