About The Great Gatsby Musical

The Great Gatsby is a new musical with a book by Kait Kerrigan and music and lyrics by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen. After a record-breaking, sold-out premiere at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, New Jersey in October 2023, the show transferred to the Broadway Theatre in New York, where it began previews on March 29, 2024 and officially opened on April 25, 2024. The musical won the 2024 Tony Award for Best Costume Design and earned nine BroadwayWorld Fan’s Choice awards, including Best Musical. The show has since launched productions in London’s West End at the London Coliseum and in Seoul, South Korea at the GS Arts Center, establishing itself as a global theatrical event.

The Story on Stage

In 1922, Nick Carraway arrives in New York from the Midwest, settling into a modest cottage on Long Island that happens to sit next door to the palatial estate of the mysterious Jay Gatsby. Night after night, Gatsby throws extravagant parties that draw all of New York’s elite, but he has only one guest in mind: Daisy Buchanan, Nick’s cousin and the woman Gatsby has loved since before the war. As Nick is pulled into Gatsby’s world of excess and reinvention, the musical explores themes of ambition, class, lost love, and the dark underside of the American Dream. The score blends jazz, pop, and contemporary Broadway styles, with standout numbers that range from glittering production spectacles to intimate ballads. The show runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes including a 15-minute intermission.
