Opening on Apr 11, 2025
Although it was a commercial disappointment during the author’s lifetime, this is a story that has since been well-loved and adapted for the stage numerous times. The Great Gatsby musical is a stunning reimagination of F. Scott Fitzgerald's seminal novel, crafted to capture the era's decadence and underlying social tensions. With 22 original songs that explore the emotional themes behind the blinding display of wealth and status. Watch the elusive American Dream unfold with a painful love story with your tickets to The Great Gatsby at London Coliseum!
F. Scott Fitzgerald published The Great Gatsby in 1925, inspired by his romance with a wealthy socialite and the roaring galas he was privy to during their relationship. The plot similarly follows the narrator Nick Carraway’s account of his acquaintance with his wealthy and extravagant neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Gatsby seems intent on finding a way to reunite with Daisy, his former flame - hosting legendary parties that pulse with jazz and champagne, yet Gatsby himself remains an enigma. But while he hides behind the glow of opulence, the story peels back the tragic reality of his unfulfilled desire.

Really enjoyed the production - only things to point out was there didn't seem to be a cloakroom and if there was it wasn't mentioned so had to take our bags and coats in with us and also the door man who searched our bags was not very personable- almost rude, which was a bit unexpected and unnecessary. Other than those, great evening.
