We love a good party! BroadwayWorld's Opening Night Coverage is being presented by THE GREAT GATSBY — a new musical that just roared onto Broadway this spring! Starring Jeremy Jordan (Newsies) as Jay Gatsby and Eva Noblezada (Hadestown) as Daisy Buchanan, this "lush, bewitching, and dazzling" (The New York Times) production is a party you do not want to miss! Illinoise is now a four-time Tony nominated musical, and while it officially opened last month, the production waited until last night to celebrate at the St. James Theatre. BroadwayWorld was there and you can check out photos below!
