The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production

The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production at Fisher Theatre - MI

You know the longing—the pull toward something just out of reach, the belief that ambition and desire can bridge any distance. The Great Gatsby transforms F. Scott Fitzgerald's portrait of love and yearning into a Tony-winning musical that speaks directly to anyone who's ever chased a dream or mourned what might have been. Marc Bruni's direction, Kait Kerrigan's book, and the original score by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen bring the Roaring Twenties to life not as history but as a mirror for your own restless heart. The cost of wanting more gives Gatsby's pursuit its emotional tension. The story of Jay Gatsby's doomed pursuit captures the thrill and the ache of ambition, the way passion can both elevate and destroy. The jazz and pop-infused musical approach pulses with urgency, giving the story a musical expression. Dominique Kelley's choreography adds movement to the storytelling. See the performance at 6:30 PM on Sunday, November 29, 2026, at Fisher Theatre in Detroit. Invite someone who enjoys a romance complicated by ambition, and share an original musical approach to a familiar novel.

The final Sunday of November deserves a better ending than staring at tomorrow's to-do list. At 6:30 PM, The Great Gatsby takes over Fisher Theatre with jazz-and-pop music, outsized dreams and the painful distance between what Gatsby wants and what he can have. It's a romance with enough ambition and regret to stay with you after the show. Choose tickets and spend Sunday evening somewhere more interesting than your living room.
