On a Level No Event Can Match
"The best event I’ve ever experienced — comparing everything: sports, concerts, theatre, festivals, all of it. Nothing else even comes close. Broadway on a level that’s impossible to describe: the energy, the emotion, the production, every detail perfect. Honestly, it’s worth coming to New York just for this. Simply the very best."

Gatsby was truly GREAT
"Best part of the show was listening to those magnificent voices of the actors. And the choreography was wonderful. It helps to know the story before you see the play, but even without knowing it was very well done. We liked the fact that the play moved along quickly and smoothly. "

First Timer
"This was my first ever BROADWAY show. I purchased tickets because my daughter wanted to see a broadway show and it was for her birthday. She chose this performance. I was a little skeptical and almost dreading the experience because a musical for a couple hours was not my idea of fun. BOY was I wrong. I loved the entire performance from start to finish. It was so good. It kept me wanting to see what would happen next! I loved every aspect of it. "
