We’re living for Jeremy Jordan’s ‘Great Gatsby’ bedroom romps, late-night swims, & opulent parties
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ubiquitous and critically acclaimed novel, gets a musical makeover with obvious sites on Broadway.
This glossy dissection of a corrosive American dream features notable Broadway, film, and TV talent, including Jeremy Jordan (Dolly Parton‘s grandson in our holiday favorite Joyful Noise) and Eva Noblezada, powerhouse vocalist who just completed a multi-year run in Hadestown.
Presented across the Hudson River at Paper Mill Playhouse in Milburn, New Jersey, the regional theater has previously incubated several shows before Broadway transfers, including Newsies (also starring Jordan) and Honeymoon in Vegas.
Given the star power and hefty budget, producers hope this party will eventually roar and roll its way onto the Main Stem.Nearly 100 years ago, The Great Gatsby entered the literature world with a meager whimper.
