The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production

The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production at Fisher Theatre - MI

What happens to romance when ambition becomes part of the bargain? The Great Gatsby gives that question a musical setting at Fisher Theatre in Detroit on Tuesday, November 24, 2026, at 7:30 PM. The Tony-winning adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel explores love, wealth and tragedy in the Roaring Twenties, with longing beneath the glamour as a reason to become invested.

An original score by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen brings a jazz-and-pop approach to the story. You can return to a novel you know while discovering another form of expression for its emotional concerns. Kait Kerrigan supplies the book, Marc Bruni directs and Dominique Kelley choreographs. Share it with someone who enjoys a complicated romance, and compare your responses to the characters afterward. Different opinions can be part of the pleasure of making a theatre plan together.

The question isn't whether Gatsby loves Daisy. It's whether love can survive the version of her he's built in his mind. Tuesday's performance at Fisher Theatre gives that painful gap a soundtrack, with jazz and pop threading through the Roaring Twenties. If you've ever chased an idea of happiness that kept moving farther away, you'll recognize the pull. Choose The Great Gatsby tickets and hear the cost of the dream in person.
