| Kimberly Ramírez takes a look at The Great Gatsby at the Broadway Theatre: In the wake of its official entrance into the public domain, F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel "The Great Gatsby" has inspired a sudden surge of stage adaptations. This direct transfer from Paper Mill Playhouse is one of two grand-scale musical versions opening this spring (the other premieres next month at American Repertory Theatre, directed by Rachel Chavkin with music by Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine and libretto by Pulitzer Prize winning Martyna Majok). The Paper Mill production has adapted swiftly into its new home, incorporating the Broadway Theatre's existing art deco style marquee into its branding in a way that makes that northwest corner of 53rd Street look like it was designed for the show. A few audience members even arrive wearing Jazz Age attire. This musical aims to charm the masses with a contemporary score infused with the spirit of the era, a simplified plot, and a stunning spectacle of glitz and glamour. |
