The American Theatre Guild has announced that single tickets for Ohio’s premiere engagement of THE GREAT GATSBY, based on the beloved novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, will go on sale to the public on Friday, Oct. 24, at 10 a.m. The show will play The Stranahan for eight performances April 7–12, 2026 as part of the 25–26 BROADWAY IN TOLEDO Series.
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
