Experience a bold new adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic, brought vividly to life with live music and set against the glamorous backdrop of the Jazz Age in 1922.
In West Egg, newcomer Nick Carraway encounters his enigmatic neighbour, Jay Gatsby, who hosts lavish parties in a bid to impress the elite. Gatsby, a self-made millionaire with a mysterious past, longs to reunite with his lost love, Daisy Buchanan.
As Nick and Gatsby grow closer, a poignant story of unfulfilled dreams and the relentless pursuit of happiness begins to unfold. Daisy, torn between Gatsby and her unfaithful husband Tom, is forced to make heart-wrenching choices that lead to a devastating conclusion.
The Great Gatsby remains a timeless masterpiece—a powerful portrayal of ambition, illusion and the cost of chasing an unattainable dream.
