“The jazz era setting of The Great Gatsby presents such a natural opportunity for music,” said Paper Mill Producing Artistic Director Mark S. Hoebee in an earlier statement. “But this team has also found ways to musicalize the characters’ deep, rich hopes and dreams with such surprising and dramatic subtlety. We cannot wait to welcome Paper Mill audiences to this thrilling world premiere of The Great Gatsby.”

The Great Gatsby is produced by special arrangement with Chunsoo Shin, award-winning Korean theatre producer and OD Company president.

A separate, immersive production of The Great Gatsby recently played Off-Broadway, while another musical version (by Florence Welch, Thomas Bartlett, and Martyna Majok) will debut in 2024.
