Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at National Theatre
by David Friscic - May 19, 2026

The current touring production of the Broadway musical The Great Gatsby tries to wrap its hand around the elusive and enigmatic novel of the same name by F. Scott Fitzgerald but can only succeed on the most basic level. It is a daunting task to try and adapt extremely poetic and enigmatic works like The Great Gatsby to any visual medium (in this, I do agree with critic John Simon ---there are really no optic equivalents to this type of writing ---as five flawed film adaptations have proven).

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY National Tour at Durham Performing Arts Center
by Jeffrey Kare - May 6, 2026

Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic 1925 novel of the same name. The Great Gatsby is set on Long Island, near New York City during the Jazz Age. The story centers on mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his obsession to reunite with his former lover Daisy Buchanan. This was one of two musical adaptations to have premiered within the past couple of years. The other being Gatsby: An American Myth, which debuted in Boston in 2024.

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY National Tour Presented by Broadway In Chicago
by Rachel Weinberg - Apr 23, 2026

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at Kansas City Music Hall
by Alan Portner - Mar 18, 2026

If Broadway’s Great Gatsby trades in spectacle, the first national North American Tour proves that its success on the road depends on something more grounded: a cast capable of sustaining the illusion night after night, city after city.  This performance is pretty much flawless top to bottom.   

Interview: Joshua Grosso of THE GREAT GATSBY at Kansas City Music Hall
by Alan Portner - Mar 16, 2026

I had the pleasure of meeting by telephone with Joshua Grosso who plays Nick Carraway in “The Great Gatsby.” Nick is the character through whose eyes the audience sees Gatsby and the other characters from the Fitzgerald book and in this retelling. Josh is one of the most positive and thoughtful people it has ever been my pleasure to spend time with.

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at Broadway at The Hobby Center
by Brett Cullum - Mar 4, 2026

The book is full of mysteries, unspoken judgements, and a vicious sense of classism mixed with ruthless self-preservation, and there is not a lot of this present in this interpretation, brought to life by Kait Kerrigan's book, Jason Howland's music, and Fitzgerald-inspired lyrics by Nathan Tysen.

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at The Hippodrome
