About The Great Gatsby
From BIG Live, the company behind the sell-out world series Dracula: Ballet At Its Darkest, comes a dazzling new theatrical spectacle.
Following sold-out seasons across the globe, BIG Live’s The Great Gatsby makes its UK debut at Sadler’s Wells for a strictly limited season.
This spectacular reimagining of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless classic brings the decadence, romance and excess of the Jazz Age vividly to the stage. Directed and choreographed by Joel Burke, Gatsby’s story is brought to life like never before.
Accompanied by live jazz musicians, Gatsby’s world unfolds to a rich score of iconic music and bold new compositions, blending Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, James P. Johnson’s The Charleston, and new works by Emmy Award-winning Jason Fernandez and Dominic Cabusi.
On stage, our dancers deliver a genre-defying fusion of ballet and jazz. Expect nothing less than breathtaking choreography, bedazzled costumes, spectacular sets, and all the glitz and glamour of one of the most famous stories of all time.
The Great Gatsby promises to be an unforgettable theatrical event.
Presented by BIG Live in association with United Airlines
