"It was a feast for the eyes and ears. The sets were just out of this world, as were the actors, who were equally adept at singing and dancing. It is almost an opera, bec so much is conveyed in song...has it all, humor and pathos, a fine rendering of F. Scott's famous novel. I found myself getting a little misty at one point. My only criticism would be I couldn't really understand the words of the chorus whn they were singing...not easy to get all that verbiage clear when you're also dancing up a storm I guess.
Highly enjoyable afternoon."

"Loved Jeremy Jordan’s voice, as well as Noah Rickett’s (Nick). All voices were excellent, the choreography was wonderful, but the costumes and sets pretty much stole the show. Wonderful!
I didn’t exactly like the character interpretations of Jay and Daisy. And I kept waiting for the explanation of the green light across the sound, but unless you had studied the novel, it really wasn’t explained. Other things, particularly the omission of Gatsby’s father being one of the very few mourners. But as an introduction to the novel, it was very entertaining,"

"The cast was wonderful, the story of course is great. The music was fun but not really memorable once the show was over. Great visual at the end."

"The costumes, the sets, the lighting and the special effects, all made me feel transported back to the glory days of Broadway. When I saw the green light on the image of the shore, I knew I was going to experience something special. The tap dance number was outstanding. "

Simone G from Torino on Aug 13, 2024
"This story is about how easily we destroy our lives and the lives of those around us when we follow our heart absent the input of any wisdom. Its an accurate, well-executed portrayal but includes brief but unambiguous discussions about things like open relationships, orgies, and voyeurism so let the innocent remain innocent. The cast is talented, the music is very fun, and Jeremy Jordan is an exceptional singer. "

The other understudy was also great.
Gatsby was very real and likeable. The featured dancers were fabulous. The sets were well executed and the production overall was great. I especially enjoyed the costuming! "

"Stage and lighting were amazing.
The actors were all fantastic and the songs were toe tapping and energetic.
But the plot deviated significantly from the novel and definitely missed the point of the original writer. Here, the theme has become suppression of women. The original novel was more about greed, snobbery (old versus new) and the emptiness of the “American Dream” as experienced by Gatsby himself (who was “the best of them”). An opportunity missed. "

"Add The Great Gatsby to the list of Broadway's most fantastic shows. The set alone is worth seeing and, with its own intricate choreography, could itself be considered another character in the show! Jeremy Jordan, of course, is amazing as Gatsby and his voice is quite possibly the best of Broadway's male actors. Overall, the show is family friendly. However, some content may be disturbing to pre-teen children, depending on their sensibilities. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is because many of the main character's stand-ins were performing during this particular show, including the main female lead, Grammy winner Eva Maria Noblezada, whom I had hoped to see perform. Even so, the show provided excellent entertainment and a fun evening with family. "

"Family of four, in town for a long weekend:
The production was phenomenal. Lighting and use of projection created a layer of detail that was entertaining in itself. Jeremy Jordan made an excellent Gatsby and writing/direction for the part seemed a notch above the treatment given to Nick Carraway and Daisy Bucahnan.
Any anticipation of Gatsby the musical being a true reflection of the book would be misplaced. Enjoy the spectacle, the performances and be entertained. Where the characters lack a sincere opportunity to develop depth, the stage performance, particularly the chorus group, provided a stunning effort, specifically in support of the "New Money" and recreation of the military ball.
Highly recommend for families with a caveat for kids likely to be above 12. "
