The Great Gatsby is heading to London!
The dazzling new musical will head to the London Coliseum following its record-breaking, sold out premiere at the Paper Mill Playhouse late last year. The production is currently playing at The Broadway Theatre.
One of the most popular novels of all time, The Great Gatsby follows Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire who throws extravagant parties in hopes of reuniting with his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. Through the eyes of narrator Nick Carraway, we witness the moral decay, ambition, and disillusionment that define Gatsby’s life and the society around him.

The creative team is completed by lighting designer Cory Pattak (Spamalot), sound designer Tony Award® winner Brian Ronan (Beautiful), hair and wig designers Drama Desk Award winner Charles G. LaPointe (The Cher Show) & Rachael Geier.
