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.”

Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) directs with choreography by Dominique Kelley (Mariah’s Magical Christmas Special).
