Review: THE GREAT GATSBY National Tour Presented by Broadway In Chicago

While THE GREAT GATSBY has glimpses of effective songs and character development, the musical doesn’t ultimately live up to the glitz, glamor, and legacy of its source material.

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at Kansas City Music Hall
by Alan Portner - Mar 18, 2026
If Broadway’s Great Gatsby trades in spectacle, the first national North American Tour proves that its success on the road depends on something more grounded: a cast capable of sustaining the illusion night after night, city after city. This performance is pretty much flawless top to bottom.

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at Broadway at The Hobby Center
by Brett Cullum - Mar 4, 2026
The book is full of mysteries, unspoken judgements, and a vicious sense of classism mixed with ruthless self-preservation, and there is not a lot of this present in this interpretation, brought to life by Kait Kerrigan's book, Jason Howland's music, and Fitzgerald-inspired lyrics by Nathan Tysen.

by Taylor Clemons - Feb 11, 2026
The idea of a Great Gatsby musical has been circulating for years, many thinking the story’s opulence and deeper themes would be ripe for a musical stage adaptation. When the book finally entered the public domain, The Great Gatsby’s Broadway premiere wasn’t far off.

Review: DCPA Delivers a Killer LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
by Jon Bee - May 12, 2025
DCPA hardly ever disappoints when it comes to the creative elements of a production and their current production of Little Shop of Horrors is no different. The scenic design by Alan E. Muraoka is a great example of theatrical excellence. It is by and large a stationary set that allows for dynamic staging from Director Chris Coleman.
