Reeve Carney (Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark) steps into the role of Jay Gatsby in the hit Broadway musical The Great Gatsby beginning March 30 at the Broadway. Carney is starring opposite his real-life wife, two-time Tony nominee Eva Noblezada (Miss Saigon, Hadestown), who created the role of Daisy Buchanan.

The newlyweds, in fact, have a long history of sharing the stage, in the Broadway and London productions of Hadestown as well as the London revival of Cabaret. The Great Gatsby, however, marks their first time performing on Broadway as husband and wife—the couple married in October of last year.

March 30 also marks the arrival of Corbin Bleu (High School Musical; Kiss Me, Kate) as Nick Carraway and John Behlmann (Tootsie, Shucked) as Tom Buchanan. Carney, Bleu (who is reprising the role he played in the musical's 2025 London production), and Behlmann succeed, respectively, Ryan McCartan, Michael Maliakel, and Austin Colby.

The Broadway company also currently features Linedy Genao as Myrtle Wilson, Samantha Pauly as Jordan Baker, Charlie Pollock as George Wilson, and Eric Anderson as Meyer Wolfsheim.

The ensemble includes Alexis Hasbrouck, Curtis Holland, Nathaniel Hunt, Traci Elaine Lee, Dariana Mullen, Elena Ricardo, Dan Rosales, Dave Schoonover, Mike Schwitter, Tess Soltau, Preston Taylor, Matt Wiercinski, Kyla Stone, and Damani Van Rensalier. Kurt Csolak, Haley Fish, Morgan Harrison, Justin Keats, Drew Lake, Brandon J. Large, Alicia Lundgren, and Alex Prakken round out the cast as swings.
