“On the contrary, I felt I had seen a musical with all the winning elements of a great Broadway show—visually beautiful, thoroughly engaging, magically fun, emotionally gripping, and enjoyable in every way.”

Critics' Take
Critics find this lavish Broadway adaptation visually spectacular but emotionally hollow, with dazzling production design and costumes that can't compensate for a generic score and superficial treatment of Fitzgerald's themes.

“The Great Gatsby is a technical marvel, meticulously choreographed and flawlessly conducted.”
The Upcoming StaffFull Review
“Seeing a musical like The Great Gatsby come alive on stage in such a beautifully realized production is not only surprising but invigorating.”
“This is a surprisingly enjoyable telling of the familiar story.”
“If The Great Gatsby doesn’t have the makings of a long-term Broadway resident, it’s become, in its newly minted tension and decadence, a welcome visitor.”

Theater Scorecard
Typical VenueThe Broadway Theatre's vast size (1,761 seats) and exceptional depth mean rear orchestra and balcony seats are very far from the stage, making it best suited to large-scale spectacle productions. The Renaissance-inspired interior is grand, though comfort is below average with tight seating.
