The Lowdown
Fitzgerald’s relic has finally hit the stage, trading subtlety for the kind of neon-drenched excess that defines modern Times Square. It tracks the usual suspects: Jay Gatsby, a man with too much money and zero boundaries, chasing Daisy Buchanan through a haze of gin and questionable life choices. The jazz-pop score feels like it was focus-grouped for a cruise ship, but the production design manages to capture the hollow, frantic energy of the era. It is loud, it is gold, and it is exactly what you expect from a story about people who have everything and want nothing more than what they cannot have. Go if you like spectacle, but leave your literary expectations at the coat check.

Our verdict
The show had the ability. The setting was good. The story was the same, but when we saw it, the actors just didn't give us the energy and the excitement that we are used to from the movie or the book.

Won a seat to The Great Gatsby for the price of a deli lunch? Struck out a dozen times trying? Either way, the next New Yorker hitting refresh on the lottery wants to hear about it. Be the first on the board.
