Jeremy Jordan is incredible
"The show tells the Great Gatsby so clearly and beautifully. It has themes of sex and mild violence, which is why I wouldn’t recommend it for children. The cast was all talented, but Jeremy Jordan’s voice is frankly otherworldly and heavenly. He completely made the show for me. "

Best that Broadway has to offer!
"Phenomenal production value with exceptional cast and crew. The lighting and stage changes were fantastic with stunning performances from all the talent. The artistry and venue speak for itself however the entire show was sublime. I appreciate the way the orchestra was incorporated into the production and everything exceeded all my expectations."

Literally one of the best shows on brodway
"The glitz and glam is so over the top and its beautiful. The random things that have been added are very random but fit oh so beautifully, the choreography is spot on, and the vocals in this cast are absolutely jaw dropping and gave me goosebumps the whole show. I can positively say I wish I could experience this show again, I would relive those few hours over and over again if I could. The music is absolutely outstanding. 20/10 Absolutely amazing show. "

Great Gatsby
"We LOVED the show. It had it all plus a few unexpected twists and turns that made it slightly varied from the movie. The actors- singers- dancers were so talented- the set and costuming were all spectacular! It honestly overwhelmed. me with emotion and made me cry happy tears. This show is electric. The production number dancing was out of this world! Captivating in all ways!"

Absolutely amazing!
"I wanted to enjoy a Broadway play with my 18 year old son, and pick something we both were familiar with. The Great Gatsby didn't disappoint! Everything from the music, the costumes and of course the acting was spectacular. We both had a wonderful experience, which I think is impressive for an 18 year old and a 49 year old mom to both enjoy as much as we did. I /we highly recommend! "

My First Broadway Experience
"This review is anecdotal, as this was my first Broadway show, but I cannot say enough good things about it. I was not prepared for the skill and talent of the cast as well as the smoothness of the transitions. Thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible. "

A must-see performance if you love musicals...
"I have seen at least 20 Broadway plays and this show was absolutely the best one I have ever scene. The set(s) and the props were absolutely beautiful, the singing and dancing was energetic and excellently choreographed but what I felt the most was the connection between the cast. It was just fabulous!"

Great Musical Adaptation
"As a 16-yo who read the book first and loved it, I just had to see the musical. Great casting, especially with Aisha Jackson's beautiful singing and range. The set was also spectacularly made and fit the setting in which the characters acted perfectly. This musical definitely made me see Gatsby through a new lens and allowed me to love it even more! - JB"

Great Show
"The show was terrific. Songs and music wonderful. The lead was a swing, but Mike Schwitter did a fantastic job. Everyone was standing at the end. Parking was easy and plenty of places nearby for drinks or dinning. "

Very enjoyable!
"I wasn’t sure what to expect but the show was true to the story, very entertaining and the cast was excellent! The role of Jay Gatsby was played by an understudy and I can’t imagine how it could have been any better than it was! Worth it!"

Gatsby Shines!
"This show was absolutely amazing! The production value, the actors' dedication, and the commitment of the entire cast and crew to the art on stage really made this show an experience to remember. Jeremy Jordan sings with his entire heart; his voice is an instrument and he has mastered its use. Every single voice on stage holds amazing power. Definitely worth seeing!"
