FIRST LOOK: The Great Gatsby Musical arrives on Broadway

“A GREAT, BIG BROADWAY EXTRAVAGANZA THAT EXPLODES WITH LIFE AND ENERGY! Starring Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada, two of the best voices on Broadway, The Great Gatsby is a glitzy, glamorous romp through the Roaring Twenties.” (Entertainment Weekly)
Transport yourself to the opulent world of the 1920s as one of the greatest American novels hits the greatest American stage. Starring "top notch leading man" (Variety) Jeremy Jordan as the eccentric and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Eva Noblezada "played to perfection" (New York Stage Review) as the enigmatic Daisy Buchanan, THE GREAT GATSBY arrives on Broadway after a record-shattering, sold-out run at Paper Mill Playhouse.
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). Don’t miss the party - get tickets today to the musical that The New York Times calls “lush, bewitching, and dazzling!”
THE GREAT GATSBY is produced by Chunsoo Shin, acclaimed Korean musical producer, 5-time winner of Korea’s most prestigious theatrical award and OD Company president.

Preface: I saw this at Papermill so I am not just blindly hating. Unless they have majorly changed things, this is a far cry from what Gatsby is supposed to be about. The show visually is stunning, and the performers are absolutely incredible. But, Gatsby is not this beautiful story of long lost lovers reunited happily. It is a dark, unhappy, bleak story about the corruptness and empitness of American society at the time. All the glamour and parties and high life are what the novel critiques, it is not glamorizing them which is what is so commonly missed about this story. This is not a good adaptation of the novel.

[@tannerwhite6189]

Your right, it is definitely not for people who looking for a good adaptation of the novel. But, if the original source material is not your main reason for going I think it’s a great and stunning show for all those who are looking for a glimpse into the glitz and glamour of the 20s and those who want to be blown away by amazing musical performances! (: I saw it on Broadway and loved it!!but definitely noticed that even though they made quite a few changes from paper mill it still somewhat strayed from the vibe and feeling of the book in what it was trying to convey

[@user-xc5cg1pe3q]

@@tannerwhite6189 That is a fair point, and I was absolutely blown away by the performances. I am admittedly biased as I have a degree in English lit and Fitzgerald's work was one of my areas of concentration, but my problem with this is as I was leaving, I heard people saying how they were glad they didn't have to now read the book or how they had never read the book and now wanted to. If this is your first experience with Gatsby, I think you are going to be very confused and potentially disappointed with the tone and feel of the novel. I think this book is sadly very misunderstood in our cultural conscious, and it just makes me sad as a very big fan of Fitzgerald this continues that. I also have really not liked the attitude of the book writer to adapting it from interviews. I have tickets for Florence Welch's Gatsby, and I am curious to see how that one is.

[@phoneypseudo]

i felt the exact same. thank you for bringing this up. (i'm also looking forward to florence welch's gatsby! if anything, the use of silver in its branding is a good sign.)

[@user-xc5cg1pe3q]

@@Mr21scott THANK YOU. Finally someone said it. The performers are spectacular, but this show is not at all what the book is about. It is a cynical and dark story about classism and the corruptness America is founded on. It is not true to the main characters or plot points. When I saw it at least at PMP, Daisy said she thought he was dead which is why she married Tom. Book Daisy rejects him because he is poor and from pressure of her family. It is not The Notebook.

[@oreoz4792]

​@Mr21scott you're a little pretentious, but you're right. I love this show for what it's given us, but it doesn't capture the themes and tone of the book. that's why I'm hoping the other Gatsby musical by Florence Welch has a more accurate take and makes it to Broadway 🙏

Why does the set and everything have a similarity to the 2013 film version of the great gatsby?! 🤯

[@clarkbarrett6274]

Because they are all based on the same book? Obv.

[@phoneypseudo]

​@@clarkbarrett6274 well, it absolutely took inspiration from the movie's aesthetic design and branding. the book's descriptions are all rather vague and theoretical, open to interpretation, a realistic and messy portrait of the '20s. very little gold, very little art deco. not showy at all. nothing like this. at best these blatant similarities arise from both being caricatures of the period.

[@clarkbarrett6274]

@@phoneypseudo ridiculous. Art deco style started in France immediately before WWI. Then flourished elsewhere including the US in the 20s and 30s.Precisely the setting for Gatsby. And gold was used to highlight both the art deco nature and the nouveau riche boom time before the inevitable stock market crash. Are you aware there's a 1974 Gatsby film with Robert Redford? It looks the same too. It's indicative of the era. (There's a 1926 silent film too but I haven't seen it. It came out a year after the book.)

[@phoneypseudo]

​@@clarkbarrett6274 Sorry, I didn't mean that art deco wasn't characteristic of the 20s - I meant that the musical's use of it in set design and branding was only defined by a vague idea of art deco, as if it was all there was of the time, and as if art deco counted as anything with geometric shapes. My bad, I meant that it was a caricature and exaggeration of the artistic movement of art deco. But I really disagree that the 1974 film looks the same - I don't see what you mean at all. It is drastically more naturalistic, has much less of that bitter shade of gold or bold colors, not to mention it's very much aligned with 70s aesthetics.

[@carolinecao9513]

So not to defend this choice, but so Jordan Baker sings them in a moment of revelry (celebrating the new money people seemingly attaining their dreams). And then Nick later bitterly and critically repeats those words at the end of the musical just to underline the hollowness of the American Dream.

The plot is lacking: there's no character development, no connection to any of the characters... however, the cast is so talented. I came for Jeremy but was wowed by Eva. Also Samantha and Noah were also so good. The set design was also spectacular and well-made. But overall, I felt like the show was all glamor but no substance?
