Fantastic story and cast!
"The cast was fantastic and the music was catchy! Sarah Hyland wowed us - we were used to watching her on Modern Family and had no idea she had musical chops. All the cast was amazing. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed the show."

I was pleasantly surprised.
"I consider myself a “country boy” and not into arts or theater at all. I gave my wife tickets to the show for Christmas because she loves musicals. I could not believe how talented all the actors were and I would definitely go to another show again."

Superb adaptation
"Sarah was a breath of fresh air. Her acting was markedly better than musical theater standards. Her affectations were on point, and her switches between feigned happiness and despair were believable. The actor playing Gatsby had an incredible voice, and he needed it with the soaring songs. He had power, finesse, and range. The dancing was enjoyable. The sets (drops) were outstanding, as was the lighting and effects. A true pleasure to behold. "

The Great Gatsby Broadway Theatre
"Loved it! Being from England and a West End regular, wanted to see a show on Broadway that captured the American spirit. So to see a show in New York that is set in New York, with American tap dancing enthusiasm, a great story, a great score and really great sound in the theatre was fabulous. Maybe the female leads were a bit too shouty, almost trying too hard. But for a full on American show experience on Broadway it was fabulous!!"

Jammed packed enertainment
"The play was action packed held a good pace to tell a fantastic love story. Actors and actresses were authentic with great vocal talent a few “off key” Moments but over all was exceptional the live Orchestra hit every note the story line was true to the book condensed and well rehearsed would see it again. Very well played "
