About this show

The Great Gatsby Tickets

F. Scott Fitzgerald's Jazz Age masterpiece comes alive as a Broadway musical at the Broadway Theatre. This adaptation transforms the classic tale of Jay Gatsby's obsessive pursuit of Daisy Buchanan into a lavish musical production featuring original songs and choreography. The story follows the mysterious millionaire's determination to win back his lost love against the backdrop of the opulent Roaring Twenties.

Audiences love this production for its authentic 1920s atmosphere, brought to life through Tony Award winner Linda Cho's costumes and Marc Bruni's direction. The musical features an original score by Tony-nominated duo Nathan Tysen and Jason Howland, with Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada delivering standout performances as Gatsby and Daisy. After a record-breaking world premiere at Paper Mill Playhouse, this Tony Award-nominated musical has taken Broadway by storm.

What to Expect at The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby runs for 2 hours 30 minutes with an interval, giving you time to discuss the first act's dramatic developments. Jeremy Jordan brings charisma and vulnerability to Jay Gatsby, while Eva Noblezada captures Daisy's complexity as a woman torn between love and security. The production showcases the Broadway Theatre's grandeur, with its 1,761-seat capacity creating an intimate yet spectacular setting for this Jazz Age story.

The musical features lavish set design that transports you straight into Gatsby's world of excess and glamour. If you're planning to explore more of Broadway's offerings, consider pairing your evening with Chicago tickets for another classic American musical, or experience the contemporary energy of Hamilton on Broadway.

Before You Go

The Great Gatsby is suitable for ages 10 and above, though children under 4 are not permitted in the theatre. The Broadway Theatre maintains a smart casual dress code, and the venue offers wheelchair access, accessible seating, and hearing assistance devices. Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain time, as late arrivals may not be admitted until a suitable break in the performance.

Mobile phones must be switched off during the performance, and photography or recording is strictly prohibited. The theatre can get chilly due to air conditioning, so consider bringing a light jacket. For those seeking more theatrical experiences in the Theatre District, The Phantom of the Opera offers another classic Broadway experience nearby.

The Great Gatsby is visually stunning but has a flawed book.

Pages on Stages
Visually decadent fantasy world as out of touch with reality as Gatsby himself.

not as elevated as one of Fitzgerald's complex metaphors, it sure is a lot of campy fun
