The party’s roaring in Madison! 

“The Great Gatsby” is a “Broadway extravaganza that explodes with life and energy” (Entertainment Weekly). Based on the classic American novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the Tony Award®-winning new musical is an unforgettable journey of love, wealth and tragedy that brings the Roaring Twenties to life on stage.  

Directed by Marc Bruni (“Beautiful: The Carole King Musical”), this story of extravagance and longing features choreography by Dominique Kelley (“So You Think You Can Dance”), a book by Kait Kerrigan (“The Mad Ones”) and a jazz- and pop-influenced original score by Jason Howland (“Little Women”) and Nathan Tysen (“Paradise Square”).
