The Broadway musical adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, which continues at the Broadway Theatre, will make its West End debut next year at the London Coliseum.

Previews will begin April 11, 2025, prior to an official opening April 24. Performances are currently scheduled through September 7. Casting will be announced at a later date. The Broadway cast is led by Jeremy Jordan (Newsies) as Jay Gatsby and Eva Noblezada (Hadestown) as Daisy Buchanan.

Chunsoo Shin, the lead producer of The Great Gatsby, said in a statement, “I am thrilled to bring this timeless, glamourous, and resplendent production to the U.K.’s West End, after such success in the U.S. and on Broadway. The London Coliseum is a spectacular venue that complements the lavish aesthetic and vibrant energy of our show. With its grand architecture and historic charm, it offers the perfect setting to transport audiences back to the opulence of the 1920s.”

The Great Gatsby features music and lyrics by Nathan Tysen (Paradise Square) and Jason Howland (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) and a book by Jonathan Larson Grant winner Kait Kerrigan (The Mad Ones). Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) directs with choreography by Dominique Kelley (Mariah’s Magical Christmas Special).

Set in the Roaring '20s, the musical follows eccentric millionaire Jay Gatsby, who will stop at nothing in his tragic pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, a wealthy young woman whom he loved in his youth.

The Great Gatsby also features scenic and projection design by Paul Tate de Poo III, costume design by Linda Cho, sound design by Brian Ronan, lighting design by Cory Pattak, and hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe and Rachael Geier.

Arrangements are by Jason Howland, orchestrations are by Howland and Kim Scharnberg, and the music producer is Grammy winner Billy Jay Stein for Strike Audio. Casting is by Jill Green Casting.

The new musical won the 2024 Tony Award for Best Costume Design of a Musical.

Mark Shacket serves as executive producer with general management by Short Street Productions Ltd. Worldwide management of The Great Gatsby is by Foresight Theatrical.
