One of the most popular novels of all time, The Great Gatsby has sold over 30 million copies worldwide since its release in 1925 and continues to sell over 500,000 per year. The novel has been translated into over 42 different languages, and has been adapted for TV, radio plays, video games, and multiple films – including the acclaimed Baz Luhrmann feature film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Get ready to roar because the Tony Award®-winning new musical The Great Gatsby is coming to London and will be the party of the century. Fresh from its current smash-hit success on Broadway, this “shimmering, sparkling spectacle” (Variety) “explodes with life and energy” (Entertainment Weekly).
Meet mysterious millionaire, Jay Gatsby. He entertains the rich and famous with riotous parties at his Long Island mansion yet never joins in. Gatsby longs instead to reunite with his former flame Daisy Buchanan, but Daisy comes from another lifetime, long before the money…
Jamie Muscato commented:
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be stepping into the shoes of Jay Gatsby—a character so full of mystery, passion, and longing. Bringing this iconic role to life on the West End is an incredible honour, and I can’t wait to share this production with audiences.”
Frances Mayli McCann added:
“I’m beyond excited to bring Daisy Buchanan to life in this stunning production at the London Coliseum. She’s such a complex, captivating character, and I can’t wait to dive in to her world and share this timeless story with audiences in the heart of the West End.”
