Casting has been announced for Gatsby: The Musical; Ruby in the Dust Theatre's captivating musical adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel.  Alongside period glitz and glamour, a smoky jazz score and a sprinkling of wry humour will be a strong cast of West End talent.

Adapted by director Linnie Reedman, and with music and lyrics by Joe Evans, the piece brings F Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel to life for a semi-staged concert experience. Vibrant characters, popped corks, and infectious rhythms collide with personal conflicts and lost loves in this tragedy of the vanishing jazz era.
