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).

While THE GREAT GATSBY has glimpses of effective songs and character development, the musical doesn’t ultimately live up to the glitz, glamor, and legacy of its source material.
