[@chileanyways196]

I hope this is the start of Jeremy finally getting the recognition he deserves

[@launyohanina]

But still they are not invited to the interview part! 😢

[@Bakerboy1958]

But maybe no interview because they had to head to the theater?? Idk but maybe. Tonight show films at like 7 or 7:30 so….

[@chileanyways196]

@@launyohanina Yeah I was disappointed they didn’t get interviewed

[@seppyq3672]

They rarely interview broadway performers on late night.

[@empiredanceperformingartss5331]

Amenn!!!

[@bwaygatsby]

Thank you so much for having us, old sports! 💚🥂

[@sleepymymeloo]

I love you oldsport

[@jyangtoho]

Now can we see a performance at your neighbor’s late show on cbs at the Ed Sullivan theater ??

[@Lilducktator]

Would love to give you coverage too!

[@jrbship]

When even the KZbin comment is in the voice of a show’s character…

[@themripley]

Jeremy has a truly exceptional voice even by Broadway standards.

[@gottasing7]

His voice is sensational.

[@zackisgreasy4503]

Eva pointing out the musicians accompanying them was just the cherry on top. She's full of class and grace!

[@heynewmama5279]

It’s fun to imagine this may be people’s first time experiencing the magic of Jeremy Jordan.

[@gideonplays814]

I'm gonna die without this cast recording

[@lauramcgill294]

Pretty sure they said they are doing it and it will be out in June.

[@slozhnos]

it’s coming out june 21!!

[@Kai-pm3nq]

jeremy’s little giggle is killing me he’s so amazing

[@jcrow8472]

GOD I SCREAMED IN JOY AND MY BROTHER HATED IT!!! 😭😭🤭🤭

[@markgoodloe2722]

This show deserved so many more Tony nominations . It is almost criminal it didn't get nominations for both of these performers and best musical.

[@simplysteph_]

It just opened so it most likely missed the deadline, the nominations will be given on next year's ceremony

[@markgoodloe2722]

@@simplysteph_ No unfortnately it made the deadline this year and got nomindated for costumes only. It won't be able to be nominated next season.

[@wafflemcspoon7865]

I saw it on opening night, and respectfully, I disagree. It was a decent show but not one deserving of critical acclaim given its many flaws. I don't know why it's so hard to adapt the source material as the period piece it is. Whether it's this musical adaptation or Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film, everyone who touches this property seems to think that it needs modernization. F. Scott Fitzgerald coined the term "the Jazz Age". Why then is it so hard to root the story in period-appropriate jazz numbers instead of bombastic romantic duets? For me, a fan of musicals and of classic literature, it took me completely out of the story. The romantic fling between Jordan and Nick, the complete bulldozing over the novel's many subtleties (e.g., Meyer Wolfsheim making explicitly clear that Gatsby is a bootlegger when it's only ever implied in the novel, the symbolism of the green light and the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg),and the Bob Fosse-esque choreography in "When the Party's Over", all of these cheapened the show. I will give credit to the excellent costume, production design, and a handful of clever songs ("Secondhand Suit" comes to mind), but I also noticed a lot of problems that diluted the overall quality.

[@haydenrenaud5987]

@@wafflemcspoon7865I’m with you completely. I saw it and while there were certainly excellent moments and, of course, incredible performers, I definitely think the adaptation of the story overall was lacking.

[@raemflores]

Evaaaaaaaa 😭😭😭😭 the diction the clarity the tone the strength 🎉

[@BenNgo]

Eva was always so underrated. Hope this new play will push her career to the top.

[@hoshimylove5472]

She's underrated?? I don't think so

[@BenNgo]

@@hoshimylove5472 she got 2 Tony Nominations but still didn't win any. If that's not underrated, then what is?

[@mattbrock7031]

​@@BenNgo Not being Nominated?

[@ChristopherYellen]

Hurrah for Jeremy and Eva, but a million points for having live musicians on stage. Such a beautiful song. Hope it's showered with Tonys.

[@madelynstoltzfus]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT JEREMYS THROWN IN “YOURE A LIGHTHOUSEEEEE” AT 3:17 😭😭😭 EXCUSE ME SIR?

[@gottasing7]

Thrown in? It's not written?

[@madelynstoltzfus]

@@gottasing7 Yes, he’s never done that before! They’re both usually singing together on that line but he left it to her and did his own thing there. Unless they changed the music since last week which I highly doubt now that the show is open and half the album is recorded, including this song. Love it!! ❤️

[@pathetically_dimwitted]

@@madelynstoltzfus i went to a preview 2 days before it officially opened and he did it then tho

[@stayonezy5570]

I KNOW, WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT AT PREVIEWS I WAS LIKE WHHOOO THATS DIFFERENT, he didnt do it at papermill tho

[@gottasing7]

​@stayonezy5570 yes! I knew I'd heard both versions. I saw it at Papermill & Bway previews. Love both ways, but there is something super special about this performance. To nail it so perfectly, both of them, on late night TV when you only get one shot, is just astounding. Incredible.

[@borahaegurl]

1:44 like i knew she was going to sing, but the instant CHILLS i received after hearing Eva’s resonant and rich voice…she is so amazing!!!!!! I love you, Eva!!!

[@miks_and_match]

HELLOO????? THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO SOUND THAT GOOD LIVE

[@joannahp7223]

Giving them a standing ovation from my screen 😭😍😭❤️

[@scylahhill8018]

This man has the most incredible male voice I have ever heard. He sounds the exact same live.😍

[@michelle19890]

I hope this is the start of jeremy getting the recognition he has deserved for YEARS. Ive been a fan of his almost my entire life I wish nothing but the best for him💖

[@pathetically_dimwitted]

IM ON THE GROUND IN TEARS I AM SO INSANELY PROUD OF THEM❤❤❤THE BEST DUO OF ALL TIME

[@clumsyrosie]

This is what greets you when you get to heaven😭😭

[@gm1000]

I'm not kidding when I say I was IN TEARS seeing this live on Broadway. They are unbelievable!!!!

[@valentinarojasseals4264]

Saw it yesterday. Must have cried like 12 times…

[@borahaegurl]

4:00 Jeremy’s voice reverberating towards the end…the mesh between his and eva’s voice…just WOW! Just pure awe! Inspiring, spectacular!

[@courteneydaniels]

That is the beauty of live theater

[@aglazer1142]

This was truly one of the greatest performances I have ever seen on The Tonight Show

[@4everDestinii]

OK BUT HER DRESS IS SO PRETTY! I LOVE THE DESIGNS!!

[@TheAlvinMamba]

Jeremy & Eva are such an amazing duo 💕. But man, Jeremy’s vocal throws & a little vocal cry on “Sometimes it’s winking, sometimes it’s warning” flows so perfectly well at 0:32 ❤️.

[@Phasmania]

I’ve never actually heard the first verse with just Gatsby, makes the song a lot better from a storytelling perspective imo. Also that riff at “everywheeeere” has to be my favorite part

[@48162342]

This show deserves more awards. Periodt.

[@isiahbostic]

Saw this on Broadway and absolutely SOBBED at this moment!!!

[@babaofganoush]

They both still got robbed of a Tony nomination. Like what?! HOW?!?

[@simplysteph_]

because the musical just opened on broadway (march) so it passed the deadline for this year's ceremony

[@mjmatousek]

@@simplysteph_ The cut-off was April 25, making it eligible for this year. Lindo Cho was nominated for Best Costume Design in a Musical.

[@simplysteph_]

@@mjmatousek yes, but usually for lead roles they need more than one month (because of eligibility requirements) to accept deadlines and they also don't count previews even if it was the same cast

[@clarkbarrett6274]

Amazing show. It deserves better than the response it has gotten so far. (Tony's I'm looking at you). Holy crap Jeremy at 3:24 with "everywhere, ere, ere"

[@markmabalot7895]

Sooo many people agree with you including myself…

[@miramae03]

Can you see through the mist, Look out this way, Can you see the green light, Just across the bay? Sometimes it's winking, Sometimes it's warning, Blinking its message To me until morning It's a lighthouse, It's a signal flare Stay back, come quick, move on, Stay there Only we know What we're going through If I save you, Will you save me too? Can you see through the mist, Look, across the bay? Can you see the green light? It's yours, daisy... I thought you disappeared, Thought you were gone Buried you in my heart as I moved on I had this feeling as I was falling The sound 'cross the bay Was the sound of you calling Like a foghorn, like a siren song Retreat, return, be lost, belong Only heaven knows what I might do If I save you, Will you save me too? (Save me too?) My green light Blinking permission, sending a call Granting admission, follow the law I'm alright(?), my green light I had this feeling, As I was falling The sound 'cross the bay Was the sound of you calling You're a lighthouse, You're a signal flare There's love and danger everywhere Only we know what we've both been through If I save you, will you save me too? Save me too... Save me. Save me too
