The Great Gatsby roars!
"I loved this show. I'm a fan of 1920s fashion and oh my goodness the costumes were phenomenal; absolutely phenomenal!! I truly thought all of the actors' performances were superb, and I cannot pick a favorite. The understudy for the role of Daisy performed and I spent a lot of time wondering how anyone could be more perfectly suited for the role than her. I have read the book three times so I know the changes to the show, but if you go in with an open mind just looking to enjoy some. F. Scott Fitzgerald and some not, the show is truly fabulous. "

I don't enjoy musicals. I loved this one.
"I've not seen many musicals -- I've only seen Hamilton and Wicked. I didn't really enjoy either. But I went to The Great Gatsby because my daughter wanted to go. I LOVED it. The singing, the songs, the dancing, the costumes, the live music. All of it was amazing. A great evening with my daughter and my sister. "

Solo in NYC
"I thought it was amazing. I may have cried a few times. It was heartfelt and funny at times. Singing made me tear up. The set and costumes were wonderful. I found the performance to be exceptionally captivating, evoking a range of emotions, including moments of both heartfelt emotion and humor. The musical numbers were particularly poignant, eliciting tears from the audience. The set design and costumes were equally impressive, contributing to the overall immersive experience. "

The best! Only second to Aladdin.
"The only reason I went to this show is because it was the only one playing on a Monday. I went in not expecting much as I have never read the book and was unfamiliar with the story. But I was blown away. This was the best Broadway show I have seen in ages. High energy. Great music. Beautiful set design. I would see it again! "

A great time at the theater!
"The performers were outstanding. The sets and costumes were sparkling and delicious. If you are looking to wring every last drop of social critique and depth of meaning out of Fitzgerald’s masterpiece you might be disappointed. However, if you want to have a glittering, toe-tapping, eye-popping frolic that stays true to what you expect from American musical theater, this is well worth a trip to New York. Even when practically everyone knows the plot already, you will enjoy the yearning and ambition of the American dream interpreted though a very talented cast and crew. And then, like me, you will enjoy return to the source and reread one of the great American novels. "

Gatsby enters my personal Top 5
"I loved this show. I’ve seen dozens of Broadway musicals, and I’d put Gatsby in the top 5 among the most enjoyable theater experiences I’ve had. The others on that list are Evita, West Side Story, A Chorus Line, Wicked and Hamilton — pretty good company. What’s there to like about Gatsby? A dazzling visual spectacle. Gorgeous sets, costumes and lighting, fully immersing you in the era of the 1920s. Amazing tech — full-scale cars that drive across the stage! Water that ripples and sparkles! Great dance numbers like the party scene from the second act. Rousing, fun (and funny) songs like “Roaring On,” “The Met” and “Shady.” Soaring, beautiful, romantic songs like “For Her” and “The Past is Catching Up to Me.” Tragic, wistful songs like “For Better or Worse,” “Second Hand Suit” and “Beautiful Little Fool.” And the pure theatrical magic of the interweaving quintet in “Made to Last.”"

Eccezionale
"Abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo la professionalità con cui è stato realizzato questo show, la cura di ogni dettaglio, la sceneggiatura, il dinamismo con cui si passava da una scena all'altra, la bravura degli attori, i costumi. Siamo rimasti colpiti, è stato veramente fantastico! È la prima volta che vediamo un musical a Broadway ed ora pensiamo che non si può venire a NY e non vedere un musical. Il Grande Gasby merita 5 stelle. Il teatro è tenuto molto bene, ci sono i servizi e un bar. Consiglio di portare qualcosa per coprirsi per l'aria confizionata forte, se si soffre il freddo. Avevamo prenotato biglietti nel soppalco molto in alto, mezanine fila E, ma devo dire che per fortuna si vedeva benissimo.unica pecca posti molto strettini."
