The recent concert revival of Gatsby A Musical, filmed at Cadogan Hall, will return online from 11-14 March due to popular demand.

Featuring a talented West End cast, Jodie Steele (Heathers; Six The Musical) plays Daisy Buchanan, with Ross William Wild (Million Dollar Quartet) as Gatsby, and four-time Olivier Award nominee Emma Williams (Mrs Henderson Presents; Zorro)  as Myrtle Wilson.

Also appearing are Liam Doyle (Wicked; Legally Blonde) as Tom Buchanan, Joe Frost (Jersey Boys; An Officer and a Gentleman) as George Wilson, and Blake Patrick Anderson (RENTBe More Chill) as Nick Carraway; plus Chanice Alexander-Burnett (Motown  the Musical; Beautiful – the Carol King Musical), Lauren Chinery, Robert Grose, Oliver Mawdsley, and Tristan Pegg. 

Adapted by director Linnie Reedman, and with music and lyrics by Joe Evans, this unmissable  piece brings F Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel to life for a semi-staged concert experience. Vibrant characters, popped corks, and infectious rhythms collide with personal conflicts and lost  loves in this tragedy of the vanishing jazz era.  

Reedman said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response to the concert and are thrilled to be able to bring it back for more people to enjoy. It’s been a pleasure to work on this project with such a talented cast, during what has been such a strange time for the arts. We  hope to be able to bring a fully staged version to you someday soon!”
