BIG Live proudly presents the world premiere of The Great Gatsby: A Jazz Ballet Odyssey, opening at Sydney’s iconic Capitol Theatre from 19 February.

This dazzling world premiere reimagines F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless classic with full theatrical spectacle. Directed and choreographed by Joel Burke, Gatsby’s story is brought to life like never before. 

The score blends masterpieces such as Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, James P Johnson’s The Charleston alongside bold new compositions by Jason Fernandez as well as Dominic Cabusi.

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 promises to be the most unforgettable theatrical event of the year!

What time do I need to arrive before a show?

We recommend that you arrive at least 15-30 minutes before the performance starts – or earlier if you would like to enjoy a drink in one of the theatre’s licensed bars.

What if I'm late and the performance has started?

Live theatre has a ‘lock-out’ policy; a period after the curtain goes up when late-comers are not permitted to enter the auditorium. Lock-out periods are set by the production and vary from show to show. Patrons arriving late will be admitted when there’s a suitable break in the performance.
