OHMYGOD HEY! It’s MickeyJoTheatre!
A musical adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald’s THE GREAT GATSBY, which began at the Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey, has opened month at the London Coliseum.
The show began performances at the Broadway Theatre in New York last year and starred Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada, with Ryan McCartan and Sarah Hyland later taking over the leading roles.
The West End cast includes Jamie Muscato (Moulin Rouge, Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812), Frances Mayli McCann (Bonnie & Clyde, Heathers), Jon Robyns (The Phantom of the Opera), Rachel Tucker (Wicked), John Owen Jones (Les Misérables), Amber Davies (Pretty Woman), Corbin Bleu (Little Shop of Horrors), and Joel Montague (Hamilton).
