The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production

The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production at Fisher Theatre - MI

An original score offers a different route into Gatsby's hopes. The Great Gatsby joins Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen's jazz-and-pop musical approach with Kait Kerrigan's book, bringing Fitzgerald's story of love and wealth to the stage. For a reader attached to the novel, For a musical-theatre fan, the songs provide a reason to discover it.

Marc Bruni directs, with choreography by Dominique Kelley. The Roaring Twenties setting supplies the glamour, while romantic longing and ambition give the story its emotional concerns. Song and movement join the characters' choices as ways to follow the drama, letting you enjoy the adaptation as a musical rather than expecting a reading of the book.
