Step Into Gatsby’s World
Our production begins where Gatsby’s story ends: with his death. From there, the muses of the Jazz Age—Excess, Desire, Fate, and Memory—bring Gatsby back to life and take us through the events that led to his destruction.
This fully immersive ballet brings the Jazz Age beyond the traditional stage, with performers moving through the aisles, seats, alcoves, and other areas of the theater alongside guests.
✨ Expect:
• A world premiere ballet
• Contemporary choreography and visual storytelling
• Immersive technology, lighting, and scenic elements
• A life-sized automobile on stage
• Live jazz music
• Performers throughout the theater
• A bold reimagining of one of literature’s most iconic stories
Lavish, cinematic, and emotionally charged, The Great Gatsby explores ambition, obsession, desire, and the elusive pursuit of the American Dream.
