The Great Gatsby description

The award-winning Broadway production of The Great Gatsby: A New Musical is in theatreland for 2025 on its West End debut, on stage at the magnificent London Coliseum to delight lovers of top class musical theatre. F. Scott Fitzgerald would be thrilled to see his brilliant novel on stage again in London.

Meet the mysterious Gatsby

Gatsby lavishly entertains the rich and famous with glittering parties at his Long Island mansion, but he never joins in. This critically acclaimed version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic story has already delighted theatregoers in the USA and on Broadway. Now it’s sending London audiences back to the Roaring 1920s, telling the story of the eccentric, mysterious and obsessive millionaire who will do anything to recover the love of his youth, the now-married Daisy Buchanan.

A team of experienced theatre professionals

The show is directed by Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), a brand new adaptation of the novel with a book by Kait Kerrigan (The Mad Ones) and an unforgettable original jazz and pop inspired score by Jason Howland (Little Women) and Nathan Tysen (Paradise Square). Howland also handles the Orchestrations, along with Kim Scharnberg, plus the Music Supervision and Arrangements. The choreography comes from Dominique Kelley (So You Think You Can Dance). Scenic and Projection Design is by Paul Tate dePoo III, the Costume Design is by Linda Cho, the Lighting Design by Cory Pattak, and the Sound Design by Brian Ronan.

Award-winning musical theatre

With a nomination for a Drama League Award, two nominations for Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Outer Circle Critics Award wins and a Tony for Best Costume Design in a Musical, this vibrant, colourful show will delight you from start to finish.
