The score blends masterpieces such as Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Summertime, James P Johnson’s The Charleston alongside bold new compositions by Toby Alexander and Carrick Sugden.
On stage, some of the world’s greatest dancers will deliver a genre-defying fusion of ballet, tap, and jazz. Expect nothing less than breathtaking choreography, bedazzled costumes, spectacular sets and the glitz and glamour of one of the most famous stories of all time.
The Great Gatsby: A Jazz Ballet Odyssey promises to be the most unforgettable theatrical event of the year!
