Final extension announced for West End’s longest running immersive production THE GREAT GATSBY
Immersive Everywhere have announced a final extension for London’s longest running immersive theatrical production, The Great Gatsby.
Adapted and directed by Alexander Wright, The Great Gatsby will continue to play at Gatsby’s Mansion within Immersive|LDN in Mayfair until 7 January 2023, which will be its final season in London.
Welcome back to the roaring twenties! Jay Gatsby invites you to one of his infamous parties. The champagne flows and as the drama unfolds the man himself will be the perfect host. As invites go, this is the hottest ticket in town. A hedonistic world of red-hot rhythms, bootleg liquor and pure jazz age self-indulgence awaits. Dress to the nines and immerse yourself in this heart racing adaption of F Scott Fitzgerald’s seminal tale.
Brian Hook said: “Gatsby has had a triumphant run over the last seven years and has been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of audience members who have dressed up, danced and raised good cheer with us. As one of the first shows back from the Pandemic it's done some incredible pathfinding for the sector and is held up as one of the most famous immersive theatre shows in the world, with productions throughout England and Wales, Belgium, Republic of Ireland, South Korea and future shows planned in Adelaide, Paris, Cairo and the jewel in the Crown, New York. it's been a constant source of pride, enjoyment and light. It’s the thing I’m proudest of in my career.
“Our London venue was always a temporary home and with Grosvenor Estate's Bond Street development comes a natural jumping off point. We would be thrilled to find a new home for the show in good time. We would like to thank the many casts, crews, general management, producers, marketing, ticketing bars and front of house teams that have called Gatsby's Mansion home over the years.
“We wish our landlords the very best with their development and thank them for standing by our side in the Pandemic.”
