The Great Gatsby - Curtain at 2PM
Join the group for *The Great Gatsby* at the National Theatre on Sunday, May 17 at 2PM!
I've sold all the tickets I bought at the box office, so folks without a ticket will need to buy their own tickets going forward.
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*).
