I already saw it at Papermill, but I saw the Great Gatsby musical again! It was just as weird and Not Great as it was at Papermill!
The actors did the best they could with the material. The story continued to be not great. Loved the technical aspects. The score was enjoyable. And a swing went on for Myrtle mid-show, which is always so impressive.
The book and the lyrics are just ... there's no nuance in this show. Please. Please let me think for myself and draw my own opinions and takeaways. Please.
I do think that it would be better devoid from the context of the book, because with the context of the book, I knew what they could have done and what they were missing, which I think would have made the show better. But on its own, it's a fine show.
