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!"

Amazing main character
"Jeremy Jordan was phenomenal as Jay Gatsby. He gave the role such depth and personality. His singing is above and beyond any other performer. He gives his character emotion and feeling. "

Great musical!
"The music, lyrics, set, actors.....all of it was wonderful! Reminded me of the great musicals from the 80s ('42nd Street, Phantom, etc). I haven't enjoyed a musical like this in quite some time. The songs moved the story along versus, the way it tends to go (songs/music sits in a scene and adds nothing to it). Bravo!"

Everything was awesome but…
"I found the sex scene in between Myrtle and Tom completely unnecessary. The song and everything else can stay, but why add the “off stage” sex? The story and show would be complete without it. I want to bring my daughters but now I can’t. Everything else about the show was outstanding!"

A story after WW 1 that is relevant today.
"The famous story that has been source for a movie was clearly told as a musical. It was joyously told. The singing was great and convincing. Ths songs told the story. I am reading the book over now as it helps to understand where our country has moved to and sadly a little back to."

Great surprise!
"The Great Gatsby was a wonderful surprise of a show! My daughter wanted to see it so we went. I LOVED the set and costumes the most. The actors, music and execution of the story were well done. It was a fantastic show to watch, and I was more than pleasantly surprised by the entertainment value of the show. There was a lot of sexual innuendo, grabbing, and kissing content based on lots of affairs happening. I wouldn’t take younger than mid to upper teenager. "

Lifetime memory material
"I am not a regular theater goer but do catch theater here and there. I felt seeing this was a necessary element of a visit to New York. No regrets at all. The full cast are exceptional. Set design was fantastic. Particularly enjoyed the moving stage with scaling backdrop for visual depth effect, the moving prop elements with interlinked choreography and the creative use of directional lighting to repurpose stage elements as alternate props. Very impressive on all counts. The historic reference to previous iterations of the story such as the original cover art are well placed. Here for business, I would simply have wished for more friends with whom to share in the experience."

I see why so many raved about this play!
"There were so many aspects of The Great Gatsby that made it so memorable. The set designs were beautiful, the creativity around the use of "certain props" (I don't want to give it away) were so well done, and the costumes were elegant representing the fashion trends of the roaring 20's. The acting and singing just drew you into the pathos of the story. I've been seeing a Broadway show with my daughter one a month since last year and this is one show you should put on your list to experience. "

A magical musical
"Since the beginning the performance is 5 stars. You are captivated from the first moment for the music, the dancing, the acting, the beauty of the costumes. The script is excellent, exposing the drama in all Fitzgerald's intentions but allowing the marvel of the musical to embrace you completely."
