I’ve always loved and admired Jeremy. But he’s the best for the part. Eva is flawless as well. As usual. And Sam Pauly? OMG. She’s a force of nature that can’t and won’t be stopped.
IKR?? This casting is absolutely flawless. I’m so happy for this cast, they seem to kill it. Sam and Eva surely have a great time aside from performing, thats for sure😭. they just have a lot of fun in general, and i’m personally so proud of them for reaching the point they’re at.
I saw this show yesterday at Broadway... I left the theatre with goosebumps: every performer rocked, astonishing scenery... great Gatsby is really GREAT!!!
@@JP-ne6dg It's not the story at all actually - but you would've had to actually READ the book to know that. It's not a "fun" story in any way, shape or form. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you. Have a seat.
@@Mr21scott THANK YOU. Finally someone said it. The performers are spectacular, but this show is not at all what the book is about. It is a cynical and dark story about classism and the corruptness America is founded on. It is not true to the main characters or plot points. When I saw it at least at PMP, Daisy said she thought he was dead which is why she married Tom. Book Daisy rejects him because he is poor and from pressure of her family. It is not The Notebook.
@Mr21scott you're a little pretentious, but you're right. I love this show for what it's given us, but it doesn't capture the themes and tone of the book. that's why I'm hoping the other Gatsby musical by Florence Welch has a more accurate take and makes it to Broadway 🙏
Preface: I saw this at Papermill so I am not just blindly hating. Unless they have majorly changed things, this is a far cry from what Gatsby is supposed to be about. The show visually is stunning, and the performers are absolutely incredible. But, Gatsby is not this beautiful story of long lost lovers reunited happily. It is a dark, unhappy, bleak story about the corruptness and empitness of American society at the time. All the glamour and parties and high life are what the novel critiques, it is not glamorizing them which is what is so commonly missed about this story. This is not a good adaptation of the novel.
Your right, it is definitely not for people who looking for a good adaptation of the novel. But, if the original source material is not your main reason for going I think it’s a great and stunning show for all those who are looking for a glimpse into the glitz and glamour of the 20s and those who want to be blown away by amazing musical performances! (: I saw it on Broadway and loved it!!but definitely noticed that even though they made quite a few changes from paper mill it still strayed from the vibe and feeling of the book in what it was trying to convey
@@tannerwhite6189 That is a fair point, and I was absolutely blown away by the performances. I am admittedly biased as I have a degree in English lit and Fitzgerald's work was one of my areas of concentration, but my problem with this is as I was leaving, I heard people saying how they were glad they didn't have to now read the book or how they had never read the book and now wanted to. If this is your first experience with Gatsby, I think you are going to be very confused and potentially disappointed with the tone and feel of the novel. I think this book is sadly very misunderstood in our cultural conscious, and it just makes me sad as a very big fan of Fitzgerald this continues that. I also have really not liked the attitude of the book writer to adapting it from interviews. I have tickets for Florence Welch's Gatsby, and I am curious to see how that one is.
i felt the exact same. thank you for bringing this up. (i'm also looking forward to florence welch's gatsby! if anything, the use of silver in its branding is a good sign.)
i have never wanted to see a broadway show more than i want to see this. the casting (jeremy 🤭🤭) is overall incredible. the SET. oh my. the SET is so gorgeous im awestruck. i wish i wish i wish 😩🤚🤚 i could see this
I honestly think that this is going to be pretty good, and I know everyone's a little disappointed that it didn't talk about the darker themes in the story, but remember, it's not an adaptation it's an interpretation.
Saw the show at Papermill and their 2nd Broadway performance. Absolutely stunning performances. Love the music, acting, singing, costuming, set design, choreography, did I miss anything?
I went tonight . costumes amazing . dancing brilliant , jeramy is outstanding . some parts don't work , however it's absolutely worth seeing . I saw a few standby performers , they shined . I would have like to have seen Eva tonight , her stand in was terrific .
I saw this the 2nd day it was open on broadway and I’ll just say it was magical! I haven’t read the book nor did I know the plot going on besides being told by friends it was “rich people drama” and I have never had my expectations exceeded this much. The plot twists were insane and the music, set, and costumes tied everything together so well. I hope everyone who sees this enjoys it as much as I did and I can’t wait for the cast recording to come out!!!
I would love for Broadway plays to be produced on two platforms: the stage, which is already established and continues to thrive, maintaining this classic and incredible tradition, and streaming platforms, which would help promote this amazing art form to tourists and loyal audiences, offering the chance to experience something different. I'm sure one experience wouldn't diminish the desire to see the other, and both tourists and locals would be even more curious to check them out. Additionally, people living in other countries or those without access could continue to enjoy the magic and brilliance of this incredible culture, which sparked a desire in people like me to one day experience it up close, without letting this dream fade away. Sadly, today the genre isn't as prevalent among new generations, where it’s not seen as much on screen. But when I was a child, I would watch it on TV, and I still find it all enchanting.
There is a scene where (spoiler perhaps?) two characters moan off stage (implied they are having sex) and Nick mouths the F word (used as the verb form). It is the beginning of the song “The Met”. Other than that, I agree with the 13 rating in the comment above
@@justClaya SPOILER JUST IN CASE: I would also like to mention that theres a slightly graphic scene in the end. If you read the book it wouldnt be a spoiler but a scene of suicide and murder is included which you should consider. Person near me gasped so it might be shocking.
@@clarkbarrett6274 well, it absolutely took inspiration from the movie's aesthetic design and branding. the book's descriptions are all rather vague and theoretical, open to interpretation, a realistic and messy portrait of the '20s. very little gold, very little art deco. not showy at all. nothing like this. at best these blatant similarities arise from both being caricatures of the period.
@@phoneypseudo ridiculous. Art deco style started in France immediately before WWI. Then flourished elsewhere including the US in the 20s and 30s.Precisely the setting for Gatsby. And gold was used to highlight both the art deco nature and the nouveau riche boom time before the inevitable stock market crash. Are you aware there's a 1974 Gatsby film with Robert Redford? It looks the same too. It's indicative of the era. (There's a 1926 silent film too but I haven't seen it. It came out a year after the book.)
@@clarkbarrett6274 Sorry, I didn't mean that art deco wasn't characteristic of the 20s - I meant that the musical's use of it in set design and branding was only defined by a vague idea of art deco, as if it was all there was of the time, and as if art deco counted as anything with geometric shapes. My bad, I meant that it was a caricature and exaggeration of the artistic movement of art deco. But I really disagree that the 1974 film looks the same - I don't see what you mean at all. It is drastically more naturalistic, has much less of that bitter shade of gold or bold colors, not to mention it's very much aligned with 70s aesthetics.
Yes! And in 2 Years Hollywood its gonna make a movie version of this musical. It’s terrific, it’s what we need in broadway, not a new story that captives the Audience but an old one, just now with songs, Yay!!
Ever since discovering samantha when she played in SIX, she has inspired me to work as hard as i can to get into a stage performance production when i’m older. i’m a 12 year old with a dream. I’m up in canada so i sadly cant see the show and my parents would be challenging to persevere to fly me down to the U.S. and buy tickets for yet another stage performance. (we’ve bought toronto SIX tickets twice) Happiest congratulations to this cast, they seem to kill their preformances!🫶
Tell sam I say hi! lol I wish i could see her but im sadly up in canada. even if it’s just her walking on the sidewalks of the streets. you’re only lucky person. Hope you have a good watch :)
Why is Jordan baker singing a song about boats being borne ceaselessly back into the past? Do the writers even know what these pivotal quotes mean? It’s like they took the most famous quotes and turned them into songs without knowing the context or what the quote means.
So not to defend this choice, but so Jordan Baker sings them in a moment of revelry (celebrating the new money people seemingly attaining their dreams). And then Nick later bitterly and critically repeats those words at the end of the musical just to underline the hollowness of the American Dream.
INTERNATIONAL FANS NEED THIS ON A STREAMING PLATFORM

This is what Broadway needs - a big musical with a great score- great vocals and a fun book - a show for a wide audience for everyone
Except...that's not The Great Gatsby. SMH. Thought that was obvious.
@@Mr21scott it is true to the main characters and plot points - it is fine entertainment- calm down

The cast is soo Iconic. Eva and Jeremy two of my all-time favorite
The sets? The cast? PERFECTION

CRYING, NO-SOBBING. This is incredible 😭
After Seeing jeremy in little shop as a nerd.. my little Jeremy loving heart is stoked for this
I've seen my share of musicals but this one was by far the best one I've ever seen. The singing from Eva and Jeremy....SPEECHLESS!!!
Loved it!!!! If i was in New York or even close to it, I'd go again! Best thing about my stay there! Amazing!
We just saw it this weekend....MIND BLOWN!!! I think this is my all-time favorite Broadway Musical, and we've seen them all. Go, GO, GO NOW!!
The outfits in this show is fantastic, and the variety that Jeremy gets to wear? From dark gold to that soft pink suit piece ooooh im gonna go crazyyy
I love Jeremy Jordan being the lead, because in Season 2 smash they were going to do Gatsby the musical if they had a third season!!
This show is so amazingly beautiful and awe-spiring. Brought literal tears to my eyes.
0:30 What song is this and why is it SUCH a banger
Edit: found it! It’s “New Money.” Her vocals are insane
0:23 This song is a BOP.
Cast album coming to you on June 21st, Old Sport!
The Vocals were AMAZING!
WE NEED A PROFESSIONAL VIDEO RECORDING OF THIS. DISNEY+ WHEN??? (Jeremy is my FAVORITE Broadway actor btw)
it was such a crime this wasnt nominated for anything :(
it got nominated for a tony in costuming!
I honestly think that this is going to be pretty good, and I know everyone's a little disappointed that it didn't talk about the darker themes in the story, but remember, it's not an adaptation it's an interpretation.
@Natasha ... is it really an interpretation? Or just a showcase of some spotlight elements?
eva sounds SO effortless girl what... the set design is stunning too!
EVERYONE SOUNDS HELLA GOOD WTF?!?!?! THE SET!!??!?! OMG!!?!??!?! THE DRESSESS A A A. AMAMMAM
Glad I read the comments because now I know what questions to ask the producers before I see another adaptation, interpretation, or a modified clone.
Saw the show at Papermill and their 2nd Broadway performance. Absolutely stunning performances. Love the music, acting, singing, costuming, set design, choreography, did I miss anything?
JEREMY JORDAN!? THE BROADWAY ICON??!! I NEED TO SEE THIS MUSICAL NOOOWWWW!!!
literal CHILLS!!! And they did NOT hold back on the budget omg
I’m fully addicted to Eva Noblezada’s part.
Send Help.
I SAW THIS IN NYC I THOUGHT I WOULD HATE IT BUT OMFG YALL IT WAS SPECTACULAR 🎉
Now thats the New Money I was looking for :)
I went tonight . costumes amazing . dancing brilliant , jeramy is outstanding . some parts don't work , however it's absolutely worth seeing . I saw a few standby performers , they shined . I would have like to have seen Eva tonight , her stand in was terrific .
