Transport yourself to the opulent world of the 1920s as one of the greatest American novels hits the greatest American stage. Starring Jeremy Jordan (Newsies) as the eccentric and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Eva Noblezada (Hadestown) as the enigmatic Daisy Buchanan, The Great Gatsby arrives on Broadway after a record-shattering, sold-out run at the Paper Mill Playhouse.
Kait Kerrigan is making her Broadway debut with The Great Gatsby. Other musicals include The Time Traveler’s Wife (add'l lyrics) in the West End; and book/lyrics for The Mad Ones and Henry & Mudge off-Broadway. Other recent plays and musicals include Father/Daughter, Indigo, Justice. Enormous gratitude to Bree Lowdermilk for making me write musicals, to Jason Howland for taking a chance on me, to Nathan Tysen for everything. For my daughters Lucy and Tess; and for my mom and grandma who taught me that the best thing a girl can be in this world is brave. @kaitkerrigan
