What a show!
"It was mine and my boyfriend’s first time in NYC. We had to see a Broadway show before leaving to travel back home. We chose this one since we enjoyed the original Great Gatsby movie from the 70’s and also the newer one with Leonardo DiCaprio. This was THE best play I’ve ever seen. The amount of detail that went into this show from the costumes, the props, the lighting was truly amazing. Every single person throughout the play was so very talented with their dancing and singing. The venue was very nice and clean. Staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend this show to anyone!

An Amazing Production!
"I don’t love the story of The Great Gatsby so I was resistant to watch the musical. The production numbers blew me away! The show was perfectly cast…every last actor was superb! I was pleasantly surprised and loved my afternoon!"

Glitz and Glam NY in the 1920s & 2020s
"The glitz, the glam, the feathers, the fireworks, and the absolute gluttony was real. The show had everything a Broadway show needed: phenomenal voices, great dance numbers, lyrics that stick in your brain, beautiful sets and costumes (and some really fantastically smart changes to both) and surprises. There were a few moments I thought the lighting was clunky, but by the end of the first act, it was perfect, and did not miss. The Great Gatsby had just enough direct quotes from the F. Scott Fitzgerald work to justify your AP American Literature teacher's field trip request, and just enough modern synthesizing that I found myself wanting to revisit the text. "

Amazing spectacle
"This was one of the best experiences of New York. I have visited NYC many times and kept putting the Broadway off, till my wife insisted this time. And what a show we selected to see. The Great Gatsby was simply spectacular, with an ever relevant timeless story, eye-popping stage transformations, beautiful soulful renditions, and an amazing cast that just drew every bit of their audience's attention to their performance. I just wish it never ended. The whole experience went way beyond my expectations and was worth every bit of the money we spent on the tickets."

Everything you want in a great show
"The costumes, staging, and sharing a timeless story through theater was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend. Given the premise of the entire story- adultery, greed, illegal activity- I’m not sure it’s for kids. The themes, however, are ever present. A wonderful rendition of a classic story—so beautifully done! "

It Lives up to the Adaption of the Novel

Fantastic story from 1920s brought into 2020s
"The incredible talent in the amazing case alone is reason enough to go see this show. The way they are all able to belt, growl, and sing with the emotion of the character as the story unfolds. Costume and set design were both top tier, with no details missed. Let’s hear it for the amazing orchestra who filled the room with impeccable melodies as the show progressed. "

Outstanding Performances!
"Every performer was outstanding! Noah Ricketts is a scene-stealer! The opening number with Noah and the Company set the expectation and I was not disappointed! Of course, Jeremy Jordan has an incredible voice...but his interpretation and emotion in "For Her" was show-stopping...STRONGLY encourage anyone debating on buying tickets...stop debating ...Buy those tickets!!!"

I NEED to go back!!!
"Wow!! This show was such an incredible experience. The sets, the music, the story, the performers…all 10/10! Most people will know the storyline going into it, but seeing it played out on the stage with the amazing songs that were perfectly placed, it was truly such an awesome experience. Listening to the cast recording post seeing it live makes it so much more emotional. The cast absolutely KILLED it!!! We had an understudy for the role of Nick, but he did great:) I would very much love to see this production again whether live or in a recording. Big broadway, fun, emotional, stunning, memorable. "
