The Great Gatsby at The Bushnell

Step into the glamour, romance, and excess of the Roaring Twenties when The Great Gatsby comes to Mortensen Hall at The Bushnell from September 29 through October 4, 2026, as part of the 2026–2027 Broadway Season.

Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel, this Tony Award-winning musical brings the story of Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan, and the glittering world of wealth and ambition to life with dazzling production numbers, lavish costumes, and a sweeping score inspired by jazz and contemporary pop music.

The musical is directed by Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), with choreography by Dominique Kelley (So You Think You Can Dance), a book by Kait Kerrigan (The Mad Ones), and an original score by Jason Howland (Little Women) and Nathan Tysen (Paradise Square).
