FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Great Gatsby: A New Musical
Review: The Great Gatsby is beautiful but encumbered by low energy
5 / 10
The show did have some high-energy musical numbers but overall, the novel’s complex themes of class were rendered inert by a proliferation of slow, reflective ballads, particularly in the second half. No complaints on the voices that performed these songs, but the numbers drained any momentum the show had to offer. With lush Jazz Age vibes, any electric energy was disappointingly absent. Gatsby often felt languid and mistook melancholy for depth. The high production values did not overcompensate for the mid-level songs.
Roaring Twenties glitz and glamour in ‘The Great Gatsby’ at the Hippodrome
9 / 10
This production exemplifies the glitz and glamour of the Roaring Twenties in a way only the stage can. With jazzy musical numbers, lovable characters with questionable motives, and a riotously fun background, The Great Gatsby will transport audiences in great style, old sport!
