The Great Gatsby is a timeless title that has many parallels to our modern world. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel is set during the “roaring twenties”, a time when culture and technology were evolving rapidly. A fairly familiar environment to the world we live in today. 

One of the enduring elements of the novel – that has transcended the ages – is the image of the excessive parties thrown by Jay Gatsby. Our goal for GATSBY was to capture that abundance and revelry inside the Opera House, by creating a space for all of us to escape and indulge for an evening. In The Green Light tonight, you’ll witness vaudeville acts from the 1920s that still entrance us today – tapping, juggling, fire breathing, burlesque, and masterful aerial – soundtracked with bold contemporary music and the striking vocals of Odette.

Taking inspiration from the rich aesthetic of the novel, we’ve reimagined Gatsby’s world as a concept album and reflected it through a contemporary lens. Moving beyond the narrative of the novel, we travel through time and space, anchored by the enduring love that Gatsby holds for Daisy. A love that has captured imaginations for generations. This show is an ode to that grand story, carrying us through moments of obsession, desire, tenderness, and sensuality. 

Welcome to The Green Light, enjoy the party!
