A cornerstone of American literature by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, has been brought to life in a way never seen before. Long regarded as a challenging work to adapt due to its introspective nature and nuance, this production leans confidently into spectacle, movement, and music to express the internal longing that defines the novel. 

Jay Gatsby is throwing a party at the Stranahan Theater—and it does not disappoint. The North American tour of The Great Gatsby is a full-out, glamorous toast to the Roaring Twenties.

Get an exclusive first look at the North American tour of The Great Gatsby. The Tony Award®-winning global sensation, which brings F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic story and the opulence of the Roaring Twenties to life on stage, has been thrilling audiences coast to coast since the North American tour officially opened this past February. 

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.   

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.

Ohio welcomes the premiere of THE GREAT GATSBY at The Stranahan, featuring eight performances that bring the Roaring Twenties to life with stunning production and melodies.

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.

The North American Tour of THE GREAT GATSBY will play Music Hall Kansas City from March 17–22, 2026, as the sixth engagement in the 25–26 PNC Broadway in Kansas City series.

The idea of a Great Gatsby musical has been circulating for years, many thinking the story’s opulence and deeper themes would be ripe for a musical stage adaptation. When the book finally entered the public domain, The Great Gatsby’s Broadway premiere wasn’t far off.

The North American Tour is underway for THE GREAT GATSBY, a new musical. The tour began performances in Baltimore, MD at The Hippodrome Theatre on January 31, 2026, before playing in various cities across North America. Check out the reviews here!
