THE GREAT GATSBY Reveals Initial Dates and Cities For North American Tour

The first dates have been announced for the North American tour of the Broadway musical THE GREAT GATSBY. The production kicks off with its first public performances in Baltimore, MD, before bringing the party to cities across North America, including Chicago, Washington D.C., New Orleans, Boston, and Dallas. Casting and additional tour stops will be released at a later date.

“With the London Production in full swing and the eagerly awaited Seoul production starting performances next week, we are thrilled to keep the green light shining bright as we announce these full dates for the inaugural 2026 season of the North American tour. Audiences have continued to celebrate and support this captivating and vivid portrayal of Fitzgerald’s world across the globe, and we are excited to extend the invitation to Jay Gatsby’s party to communities across North America,” states producer Chunsoo Shin.

Set in the Roaring Twenties, the story follows eccentric and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, who will stop at nothing in the pursuit of the lost love of his youth, Daisy Buchanan. Through its fascinatingly nuanced characters – driven by complex inner lives, erupting with extravagance and longing – this epic tale has always been destined to sing. Now, it comes to life across North American stages, with a grand, Tony Award-winning production design befitting the 21st century.

“This production is a big, bold, Broadway version of The Great Gatsby. It’s thrilling to see these indelible characters and iconic moments from the novel come to life on stage.  This stage production, which honors the novel and its history while also speaking clearly to today’s audiences, is a terrific new iteration of this classic work.”  - The Estate of F. Scott Fitzgerald
