Need to see it again!
"The set, costumes and choreo are jaw dropping. There is so much detail that it’s hard to take it all in. Jeremy Jordan is a perfect Gatsby and the rest of the cast are amazing. I really need to see it again to catch all the background that I missed. "

Thrilling!
"The acting, singing, dancing, sets…everything…was amazing! We came to NYC to see Wicked and SIX. We added this matinee last minute because my feet weren’t going to able to handle walking around all day. It turned out to be my favorite show! I am a drama teacher and I can be pretty critical and this show is one of my all time favorites!"

Fabulous visual feast. Fast paced and riveting.
"We could only attend one show in NYC, and this one was a winner. The cast were top draw with well matched voices and characterisation , the set was beautifully constructed and visually exciting, and the costumes were excellent. Professional with a capital ‘P’. You will not be disappointed by this marvellous performance of The Great Gatsby. "

Gorgeous singing, dancing and costumes.
"The voices were incredible, the staging was so opulent - colors, sights, lighting. The costumes were simply dazzling. I enjoyed every minute - and I’m a jaded native New Yorker, and hard to please. "

A timeless show about unattainable dreams
"Very true to the original book while relying maybe a little too heavily on the viewer already knowing the details. Amazing score that showcased all performers’ voices. Impressive dance numbers that make you wish you could dance like that. Beautiful set that seemed to reflect the sleight of hand theme with quick changes behind moving walls. Overall an amazing show that kept you on the edge of your seat."

Delivers everything you want from Broadway!
"The Great Gatsby delivers everything you want from Broadway. Great music, singing, dancing, drama… even the sets and costumes are amazing. Nearly every song is a showstopper and the performances are stellar. We had the pleasure of seeing Eva in Hadestown a while back. Her talent and confidence has grown. Her portrayal of Daisy is beautiful, complex, subtle and natural. And her voice is better than ever. I loved Jeremy as Gatsby… settled though a bit tortured, not creepy, less obsessed with Daisy and more in love and committed to her. The chemistry and ease between the leads is natural. And boy can he sing! He has an amazing voice and great control of it. It is as if the songs were written just for him. It was engaging and entertaining from start to finish. I highly recommend it! "

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."

Lots of fun!
"This was a fun show that was a feast for your eyes. The singing and dancing were fabulous. Costumes and sets were some of the best I’d ever seen on stage. The only reason it lost a star were the character and plot changes from the original book. A lot of the changes, I felt, weren’t necessary and I felt changed the true meaning of the book. That said, if you don’t care about changes or never read the book, you will have a BLAST at this show. The staff at the theatre were also fantastic! Our first Broadway experience was definitely unforgettable! "

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."

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. "
