The party's roaring on Broadway! THE GREAT GATSBY is a “great, big Broadway extravaganza that explodes with life and energy” (Entertainment Weekly). Directed by Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), this story of extravagance and longing features choreography by Dominique Kelley (So You Think You Can Dance), a book by Kait Kerrigan (The Mad Ones) and a jazz- and pop-influenced original score by Jason Howland (Little Women) and Nathan Tysen (Paradise Square).

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Great Gatsby: A New Musical
Review: The Great Gatsby is beautiful but encumbered by low energy
5 / 10
The show did have some high-energy musical numbers but overall, the novel’s complex themes of class were rendered inert by a proliferation of slow, reflective ballads, particularly in the second half. No complaints on the voices that performed these songs, but the numbers drained any momentum the show had to offer. With lush Jazz Age vibes, any electric energy was disappointingly absent. Gatsby often felt languid and mistook melancholy for depth. The high production values did not overcompensate for the mid-level songs.
