About The Great Gatsby
BIG Live proudly presents the world premiere of The Great Gatsby: A Jazz Ballet Odyssey, coming to Australia in 2026!
This dazzling premiere reimagines F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless classic with full theatrical spectacle. Directed and choreographed by Joel Burke, Gatsby’s story comes to life like never before.
The score blends Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, James P. Johnson’s The Charleston, and bold new works by Emmy award-winning Jason Fernandez as well as Dominic Cabusi.
On stage, world-class dancers deliver a fusion of ballet and jazz. Expect breathtaking choreography, dazzling costumes, towering sets, and all the glitz and glamour of one of the greatest stories ever told.
The Great Gatsby promises to be the theatrical event of the year.
