The Great Gatsby: A Jazz Ballet Odyssey
 

This dazzling world premiere reimagines F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless classic with full theatrical spectacle. Directed and choreographed by Joel Burke, with narration arranged by James Millar, 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. 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.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
