Paper Mill Playhouse's The Great Gatsby has found its Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan! Broadway faves Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada will play the roles, respectively, for this world-premiere production of The Great Gatsby, based on the iconic novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Additional casting will be announced in coming weeks. The highly anticipated production will play October 12-November 12, 2023 at Paper Mill Playhouse. Opening night is Sunday, October 22.
“The jazz era setting of The Great Gatsby presents such a natural opportunity for music,” Mark S. Hoebee, Producing Artistic Director. “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.”
“We’re so pleased to welcome back Jeremy Jordan, who made such a big impression on our stage in Newsies, as well as the incredibly talented Eva Noblezada, performing at Paper Mill for the first time,” said Michael Stotts, Executive Director. “We could not hope for a more dazzling pair as Gatsby and Daisy.”
Fitzgerald’s novel has fascinated and captivated readers since its publication in 1925. Set in the Roaring Twenties, eccentric millionaire Jay Gatsby will stop at nothing in his tragic pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, a wealthy young woman who he loved in his youth. Surrounded by characters with incredibly complex and nuanced inner lives, passions, and longings boil, and then erupt – spurring the unimaginable fates that befall them.
The Great Gatsby features a book by Kait Kerrigan, a jazz- and pop-influenced original score by Tony Award nominees Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen, and direction by Marc Bruni. The production will be choreographed by Dominique Kelley. Music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations are by Mr. Howland. Daniel Edmonds is Music Director.
The Great Gatsby is produced by special arrangement with Chunsoo Shin, award-winning Korean theater producer and OD Company president.
