The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production

The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production at Fisher Theatre - MI

A familiar story can still give you a new reason to go to the theatre. The Great Gatsby joins Fitzgerald's Roaring Twenties romance with an original jazz-and-pop score, offering a musical route into its themes of love, wealth and tragedy. See the Sunday, November 22, 2026, performance at Fisher Theatre in Detroit, beginning at 6:30 PM.

The story's longing supplies the emotional invitation. Gatsby's hopes give the glamorous setting something more personal at stake, while the musical form provides another way to engage with the characters. A reader returning to the novel has familiar concerns to follow; someone discovering the story through theatre has romance and ambition as a starting point.

Marc Bruni directs and Dominique Kelley choreographs, with Kait Kerrigan's book and music by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen shaping the adaptation. Make it an outing with a companion interested in musical storytelling, and share the experience from your own perspectives. You can compare how the score and performances approach a story that already means something to one or both of you.

A Sunday evening can disappear into the usual routine, or it can carry you into a world of impossible parties and impossible promises. The Great Gatsby at Fisher Theatre pairs Fitzgerald's characters with a new musical voice, asking whether a beautiful dream is worth the damage it causes. Let the music make its case. Check seats for the 6:30 PM performance and finish your weekend with a story that has something to say about wanting too much.
