"[Owen] Davis’s play was well-received, running at Broadway’s Ambassador Theater (now home of Chicago) for 112 performances over three months in 1926, then spent eight months on the road. To put that Broadway run in perspective: There were 262 productions on Broadway that season. Ticket prices for the play ranged from one dollar all the way up to $3.20."
The Great Gatsby: The 1926 Broadway Script
Since the publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel of the Jazz Age – on April 10, 1925, 99 years ago today — “The Great Gatsby” has been turned into an opera, a ballet, several movies, and a musical that will open on Broadway later this month, with a completely different musical adaptation of the novel also aiming for Broadway. The avant-garde theater company Elevator Repair Service even made…

Stop yearning so desperately for the next best thing that you forget to appreciate the present. Sitting in a brand new BMW wishing it was a Bentley, chasing some elusive end point, and losing the magic of today. You do not have to keep pursuing, acquiring, moving. There can be satisfaction in contentment. There can be satisfaction in the now.

Arts Gatsby and the reason their interpretation of Gatsby as non-white and his father as explicitly Indigenous American is important and so embedded in the text, as taken from my dissertation <3
and this (which I specifically more about minority vs social mobility but stills stands as relevant to the conversation)
#the great gastby#Jay Gatsby#arts Gatsby#my dissertation#pls do not take any of this#Tis my work#just thought it was so interesting to see an adaption actually include what can be derived from the text if you look for it!#I personally did it in relation to Gatsby emulating the mythic cowboy

The Great Gatsby and the Twelve Accounts of Queer Erasure the Musical
#the great gatsby#some of it isnt even erasure its just homophobia#nick was apparently cured of his bisexuality tis a shame /j#this will probably be the only thing i will say about the broadway adapation since Boston is likely unparalleled to it#i am upset but its only one adaption out of how many?

ROUND 2; classic lit adaptation bracket
GATSBY GAME:
based on: the great gatsby, f scott fitzgerald
medium: video game
propaganda: you play as nick and you throw your hat at enemies and collect margaritas for points. there is a level that takes place on a train. it slays tbh.
DUODECIMAL:
based on: twelfth night, william shakespeare
medium: short story
propaganda: 'It’s so fucking good! It has symbolism! It delves deep into the Malvolio Plot—which is often brushed aside due to its messiness, but Goosebooks dives fully into that messiness and emerges from the other side with a heartbreaking, hopeful, and humorous story about mental illness, neurodivergence, and gender. It has OCD neurodivergent queer Malvolio what more do you WANT from me guys. Go read Duodecimal I am sending you psychic waves to go read Duodecimal.'

the urge to learn filmography and raise a budget and get a proper team of writers just to do your favorite piece(s) of literature famous
It CANNOT be that hard to adapt a piece of media. Really, it can't. It's my number one question when reading comics or books - how the hell can someone mess this up? I can understand tweaking minor things in the context of the story, eg: setting or time or whatever (again, as long as it doesn't affect the story). BUT SIBLINGS?! As so many users have written on here already, it is just a disgrace to Oscar Wilde and so many other authors when their piece of media is put to shame in such a way. SIBLINGS?!?!?!?!!? This not only disregards the content, but the context! I am hoping so hard that this is like some massive prank and Netflix is doing this to get people to rage-watch the show, and then it turns out theyre not siblings and actually gay. I am hoping so damn hard that that's the truth. Anyways, I want to prove that its not that hard to make an adaptation of a piece of media, so artist, animators, and more of tumblr, UNITE! Feel free to reblog this post with comics or animations or anything that can count as a plausible adaptation, or with examples of good adaptations of a piece of media! Also feel free to add tags of other pieces of media that you feel were treated unfairly.
#yes this is about tpodg#the picture of dorian gray#and sherlock#and jekyll and hyde#and the great gatsby#it is NOT that complicated#adaptation rant#i swear#tumblr assemble#we must make an infinitely better adaptation of your fave piece of media#great gatsby#sherlock#frankenstein#dracula#jekyll and hyde

So I'm watching the Great Gatsby movie (the 2013 Baz Luhrman one because I love it a lot), and Leonardo DiCaprio says "sport" weird it goes back and forth between "spohwrt" "spahwt"
#the great gatsby#great gatsby#great gatsby (2013)#baz luhrmann#leonardo dicaprio#i know leo DiCaprio is a creep but he does make a good Gatsby#maybe thats why#i was gonna say that gatsby is only kind of a creep but like he did stalk a married woman and bought a house across the bay so he could#watch her. Creep behavior if you ask me.#anyways this adaptation is shockingly really accurate. like there are a lot of oarts that are word for word#this ismy first time watching it after reading the book and its interesting#anyways idk if its the accent hes putting or if thats just how he talks but its weird

gatsby bway has a Lot. of characteristic flaws
but i Will give them that i like how they start/end with roaring on, and have the transition of nick's enamoration with the life of the party to his distaste once he's seen what's behind it and everyone else just has. no development. theyre as ugly as they ever were in their choices but nick has learned better
#there are so many things i love and hate about this musical [as an adaptation] bro it got me messed up#the great gatsby musical#great gatsby musical#jett talks (me)#musical theatre#theatre#musicals#musical

i finally caved and listened to the only tracklist i could find for the great gataby musicaland By God This Sounds Like Shit. Dear Fucking Lord.
maybe they changed things up after that recording but LORD ALMIGHTY it seems like they just didnt understand the story at ALL from what i could bare listening to.
#the set and costumes look awesome tho!#and the cast is p good tho i donr like jeremy jordan as gatsby#i have so many better ideas for how to do a fun but still faithful and UNDERSTANDING stage adaptation of tgg#they fucking stripped nick of his judgemental attitute and his unreliableness and his HOMOSEXUALITY#It ALWAYS HAPPENS#daisy and jordan seem really dumbed down too i hate it#the great gatsby#just my thoughts tho if you likw it im happy for you!! genuinely#i know im very particular abour musicala and adaptations of media i adore hdvdjd
