Spectacular visuals and great singing
"The sets were the most detailed and beautiful I’ve ever seen. The leads were all wonderful except I couldn’t make out many of Daisy’s lines and didn’t enjoy her character. I know you aren’t supposed to like her but there must be some reason gatsby fell in love with her. Jeremy Jordan was remarkable- very different than anything else I’ve seen him in and two of his songs were extraordinarily good and moving. Enjoyed the overall experience and the other characterizations and voices. It decently adapted a difficult piece of literature."

Accurate to book
"I loved the costumes, real cars on stage and the tap dancers. Music was fun. Never listened to it before. I didn't like how the book ended, so in a small way I was hoping this play ended differently. No surprise, it didn't. The actors and actresses were incredible! Singing was beautiful!"

Pure Energy
"The staging was superb, as were the costumes, lighting and sound. The dance numbers were over the top good. Like the book the story itself was somewhat forced and the ending abrupt. But we knew that."

Fun in the city
"The performance was spectacular. The performers were amazing, the singing was breathtaking. Not to mention the props and backdrops, kudos to those behind the scenes. Although the staff was a bit rude and unpleasant. "

Very good. Not great.
"Very good acting. For me, the Nick character towers over the rest of the cast, making some aspects of the story less believable. Lacks that memorable song/score to make a lasting impression. "

Excellent reimaging
"The Great Gatsby is my favorite book, so I was expecting some deviation from the original story. The team who created this did a great job of keeping the spirit of the source text and wrote some beautiful music. Great show!"

Beautiful sets and costumes. Understudies were great

Fun show, incredible sets.
"Firstly, the set design changes and blending with video was very impressive. The skit follows the DiCaprio movie relatively closely. Acting and singing was excellent. However, too many long dramatic notes closing each scene. More dynamic impact achieved if dramatic notes assigned sparingly throughout the show. Show closing scene accurate and done very well but maybe too intense for specific audiences. Overall, I would see it again if able."

Glamour of the 20s
"This vibrant adaptation of the Scott Fitzgerald’s novel is a Broadway must see. The production leans heavily into spectacle, with grandiose set pieces, era-appropriate costumes and choreography, and a swinging jazz-infused score that adds vibrancy. It portrays the glamour of the 20s while digging deep into the emotional undercurrents of longing, illusion, and the pursuit of the unattainable American Dream."

Very lively and entertaining
"The music was good but seemed to be forced. Not every song needs to end in an loud drawn out conclusion. Costumes were great. The actors did an outstanding job portraying their characters "

Gatsby Shown
"Voices were excellent, though the two leads words were sometimes unclear. The set and costumes were awesome! I wondered how this book could be made into a musical and was very pleasantly surprised by the score and lyrics... great job! The gentleman who played Nick... well, he was awesome... his voice and clarity of pronunciation were stellar!"

A Show Worthy of a Trip to New York
"The Great Gatsby is a ritzy, glitzy Broadway musical. I may not remember any of the songs but the deco sets and dancing, and, of course the classic story made me glad I came. I especially liked the guy who played Nick Carraway."
