What is The Great Gatsby musical about?

“Can’t repeat the past?…Why of course you can!”. Adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel about love, longing and the American Dream, The Great Gatsby is a brand new musical set in jazz-era Long Island, New York, and offers a “fresh and fun spin” (Entertainment Weekly) on this classic story.

It’s the swinging ’20s, and enigmatic self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby is known for throwing extravagant parties but never partaking in the fun, too stricken with longing for his former love, beautiful but troubled socialite Daisy Buchanan - who he has known since his youth. When Daisy’s cousin Nick Carraway reintroduces the two, sparks fly - but Daisy is married, and some things may be better left in the past…

Considered by many to be the Great American Novel, The Great Gatsby was first published in 1925 and has had many previous adaptations including the critically acclaimed 2013 film version by Baz Luhrmann, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby.

Who are the cast and creatives of The Great Gatsby?

Jamie Muscato and Frances Mayli McCann star as Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan. Other cast members include Corbin Bleu as Nick Carraway, Amber Davies as Jordan Baker, Joel Montague as George Wilson, John Owen-Jones as Mayor Wolfsheim, Jon Robyns as Tom Buchanan and Rachel Tucker as Myrtle Wilson.

The Great Gatsby is directed by Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical ) and produced by acclaimed musical producer Chunsoo Shin (Doctor Zhivago ), five-time winner of Korea’s most prestigious theatrical award, the Korean Pop Culture and Arts Prime Minister Award.

With lavish costumes by Tony Award-winning costume designer Linda Cho (A Gentlemen’s Guide to Love and Murder ) and toe-tapping choreography by Dominique Kelley (So You Think You Can Dance ) - a collaborator with artists like Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson - The Great Gatsby dazzled audiences on Broadway with its “shimmering, sparkling spectacle” (Variety).
