Too bad they wanted this musical to be all about the singing and not about the plot. Way too much singing and I couldn't make out a word of it. Not sure what the purpose is to sing so loud that that the speakers just blare out noise and no voice. My one night in London could have been spent in many other more fun ways. too bad, this show had such potential. Don't believe the hype and trust the reviews.

Visual/production design: spectacular. Lighting and effects were amazing and immersive, sets and backdrops looked realistic especially for outdoor scenes and large spaces, and costumes were all fitting to the era and to each character. Probably the best part of the show. Music: mediocre. Modern musical style, sounds like the soundtrack from a Disney princess movie. The only references to “jazz” was the horn instrumentation and accompaniment, which was disappointing given the potential for some real swing and ragtime. At least the singing and orchestral playing were well executed given the material. Acting: pretty horrible… for a world-class West End production, one would expect something more realistic and less exaggerated/preplanned, almost cartoony. As an American audience member, I could tell some of the actors were obviously British because they spoke their vowels in American accents but the cadence and intonation were still British, so it sounded really pretentious (and not because it was reflecting classism). Sometimes they were also overcompensating on the rhoticism, so the Rs sounded more Irish than American. They should either have stuck to nailing the modern general and regional American accents, or else have some of the characters put on Mid-Atlantic accents or something more appropriate to the times that has elements also found in RP. Dancing: pretty good, definitely takes immense skill and energy to execute. It looked era-appropriate to modern eyes because it included so many elements from Lindy Hop, tap, and traditional Broadway Musical styles. Adaptation: missed the point. The story focused too much on the romance and the glamour of the ‘20s, and not enough on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s commentary on capitalism and affluent culture. It followed the plotline closely (and the little changes that were made were very understandable) but didn’t interpret all the themes of the book, basically missing the forest for the trees.

This was the second time of seeing the show( last time we did it in the Royal circle) The show was brilliant. The singing and dancing was exceptional and the sets were amazing. The cast kept us iinterested and engaged from the start to finish. It was a dream come true as afterward we went to the stage door and waited very little time for the cast members to sign and have photos with anyone who wanted them. I would highly recommend this show to anyone who is unsure if it for them. Go and see it before it ends

Beautiful sets in keeping with the period and the vulnerability and dreams of Jay Gatsby. The musical numbers were excellent and delivered with joy and from the heart. The ending of the book is poignant and throughful and it would have been so moving to have one of the characters say those lines at the end of the show. Read the book too!

As someone who is not particularly keen on "musicals", this was a lovely production. My personal preference would have been to only have the 'song & dance' sequences at appropriate points in the storyline; ie the party. But, all the elements were there for a spectacular performance - the singing, the orchestra, the costumes, the lighting, the performers, were all absolutely outstanding. To be able to relay the story on a single stage was masterful. FYI seat K19 will give you a fantastic view of the stage, whereas K20 didn't.

Great performances by the cast, a great story and some really enjoyable songs and dance performances (loved the tap dancing number). A few of the songs were less structured with no real hook, which made it feel like the story was just being sung where it could have been straight acted. Sets and costumes were excellent. Overall we really enjoyed the show and would recommend it. Definitely one of the best shows I have seen the past couple of years.
