The Great Gatsby Broadway: Sing-Along & New Cast Announced for 2024
The Broadway production of The Great Gatsby will host a sing-along performance on April 22 at 7 PM at the Broadway Theatre to commemorate its second anniversary, offering audiences the chance to participate in select musical numbers.
Lyric sheets will be provided for songs including “Roaring On,” “Novel Money,” “My Green Light,” “Shady,” “Better Hold Tight,” “La Dee Dah,” and “Finale: Roaring On,” though the song list is subject to change, according to producers.
Since its official opening on April 25, 2024, at the Broadway Theatre, the musical adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel has surpassed 800 performances and welcomed over one million attendees, drawing patrons from all 50 U.S. States and more than 100 countries. The success of the Broadway production has spurred international iterations, including runs in London’s West End and Seoul, South Korea, as well as a current North American tour.
A cast change is also scheduled for March 30, with Reeve Carney, known for his role in Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark, taking over the role of Jay Gatsby. Carney will perform opposite his wife, Eva Noblezada, who continues in her role as Daisy Buchanan. The couple previously shared the stage in both the Broadway and London productions of Hadestown, and a London revival of Cabaret. This marks their first time performing together on Broadway as a married couple, having wed in October of last year.
Corbin Bleu, recognized for his work in High School Musical and Kiss Me, Kate, will join the company as Nick Carraway, and John Behlmann (Tootsie, Shucked) will assume the role of Tom Buchanan.
The current company includes Ryan McCartan as Jay Gatsby, Noblezada as Daisy Buchanan, Michael Maliakel as Nick, Linedy Genao as Myrtle Wilson, Austin Colby as Tom Buchanan, Samantha Pauly as Jordan Baker, Charlie Pollock as George Wilson, and Eric Anderson as Meyer Wolfsheim.
