Review: New ‘Gatsby’ musical on Broadway has Jazz Age excess but none of the yearning
chicagotribune.com/2024/04/25/review-new-gatsby-musical-on-broadway-has-jazz-age-excess-but-none-of-the-yearning/
Quick Glance: Review: A Fresh Take on ‘The Great Gatsby’ with Humor and Romance
- This Broadway musical adaptation presents the Jazz Age in a lively manner, but overlooks the tragic essence of Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel.
- Portraying Jay Gatsby as a self-made enigma and exceptional host in West Egg, Long Island, reveals his insecurities and the constant struggle to maintain the facade of his wealthy life.
- The production excels in comedy, romance, and impressive dance numbers, complemented by striking costumes and visual effects.
- While offering plenty of fun and visual splendor, the adaptation falls short in fully capturing the deep tragedy of the 1925 novel, resulting in an overall underwhelming experience.
