A new video has been released by the cast of Immersive Everywhere’s The Great Gatsby performing ‘Velvet Nights’ from the show, ahead of its West End reopening on 9 December.
Created and directed by Alexander Wright, the critically acclaimed production has now extended its new booking period to Sunday 7 March 2021.
Olivier Award winning producers Louis Hartshorn and Brian Hook re-imagined and re-set the production as an Art Deco Masquerade Ball, with audience members wearing compulsory face coverings to complement their fabulous attire.
Jay Gatsby invites you to one of his infamous large parties. Re-imagined and re-set to meet covid-19 secure guidelines, the champagne flows and as the drama unfolds the man himself will be the perfect host. As invites go, this is the hottest 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 of the Roaring Twenties.
The cast includes Craig Hamilton as Gatsby, Lucinda Turner as Daisy, James Lawrence as Nick, Dean Graham as Tom, Lucas Jones as George, Ivy Corbin as Jordan, MJ Lee as Myrtle, Hugh Stubbins as Rosy Rosenthal, Aimee Barrett as Lucille and Alex Wingfield as Joey.
Hartshorn and Hook said: “For us, 2020 has been a year of hard work and immense pride, our talented cast and crews have faced seemingly impossible odds and remarkable challenges to restage this production. For the time in which we were open we couldn't have asked for a more brilliant and engaged audience, who were as delighted as we were to take back to the stages. The second lockdown was always a likelihood, and all we can do is lay our best foot forwards and once again return to the stage – now we’re in Tier 2 - with the interests of our audiences and each other at our heart.
“We hope this video is a small way to give thanks for that to our audiences who, without them, all would be for nothing.”
Tickets can be booked here.
The video can be viewed across our social media channels.
