The Great Gatsby Musical Comes to Salt Lake City
F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless American classic comes alive on stage as The Great Gatsby musical makes its Salt Lake City debut at the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater from July 27 through August 1, 2027. Winner of the 2024 Tony Award for Best Costume Design, this dazzling production transports audiences to the lavish Roaring Twenties with an electrifying jazz- and pop-influenced score by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen, a book by Kait Kerrigan, and direction by Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical).
Utah leads the nation in performing arts attendance per capita, and The Great Gatsby is perfectly suited for the state's passionate theater community. The Broadway production has grossed over $109 million and continues to break box office records at the Broadway Theatre in New York. Entertainment Weekly calls it "a great, big Broadway extravaganza that explodes with life and energy." The North American tour stars Jake David Smith as Jay Gatsby and Senzel Ahmady as Daisy Buchanan.
The Story
One of the most beloved novels of all time, The Great Gatsby has sold over 30 million copies worldwide since its release in 1925 and continues to sell over 500,000 copies annually. In the musical adaptation, young World War I veteran Nick Carraway arrives in 1922 New York to work as a bond salesman. He finds a cheap cottage rental adjacent to the palatial estate of his mysterious neighbor, Jay Gatsby—an eccentric millionaire who throws legendary parties in pursuit of one thing: the lost love of his youth, Daisy Buchanan.
Through fascinatingly nuanced characters driven by complex inner lives erupting with extravagance and longing, this epic tale has always been destined to sing. Now, it finally comes to life through stunning choreography by Dominique Kelley (So You Think You Can Dance), Tony Award-winning costume design by Linda Cho, and a grand production befitting the 21st century.
