So, I'm seeing Company and Les Miserables next month and have an additional slot to fill for a show on a Saturday evening.  I was  hoping for Betrayal or All About Eve, but it's either Premium Package or very restricted view.  The Great Gatsby looks intriguing.  Has anyone seen it?

I saw it/participated in it back in September and really enjoyed myself. If you're a fan of immersive theatre (and/or you enjoy Gatsby), it's a solid performance. It's much more manageable than something like Sleep No More, but not quite as intimate at Then She Fell. 

It's pretty interesting to see the British take on the story (which, while universal to a point, is a pretty American story at its heart, which I think the production doesn't really get at, but that's just the English Lit major in me talking).

So, if you have time, I'd give it a look. The production values are strong and the performances are solid.

Did you dress up? Is it weird to stand the whole time or just like being at a party I guess? Got tickets during Cyber Monday but now I'm curious!
