New casting has been announced for the digital concert rendition of Gatsby A Musical, now running from 26-28 February, to include Jodie Steele (Six, Heathers), Liam Doyle (Wicked, Legally Blonde) and Joe Frost (Jersey Boys, An Officer and a Gentleman).
Due to availability, they will replace the previously announced cast members Marc Antolin, Marc Rhys and Charlotte Wakefield.
Steele, Doyle and Frost will join Ross William Wild (Million Dollar Quartet), four-time Olivier Award nominee Emma Williams (Mrs Henderson Presents, Zorro), Blake Patrick Anderson (RENT, Be More Chill), Chanice Alexander-Burnett (Motown the Musical, Beautiful – the Carol King Musical), Lauren Chinery, Robert Grose, Oliver Mawdsley, and Tristan Pegg in this captivating socially-distanced revival, filmed at the historic Cadogan Hall.
F Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel has been adapted by Director Linnie Reedman and features music and lyrics by Joe Evans.
When Daisy Buchanan revisits Jay Gatsby’s mansion seven years after leaving that world behind, she is trying to confront her past by reliving the dream she shared with Gatsby. But where is he? With themes of loss, disappointment and ultimately hope for a better tomorrow, Gatsby, is surprisingly resonant with the ‘roaring twenties’ we find ourselves in once again.
Steele said: “I feel so grateful to visit this project and character again. I can’t wait to reunite with Daisy and her story, it's truly an honour to tell it. At a time when Theatre is struggling, it’s a proud moment for everyone involved in this project to aid in keeping the fire lit. Please buy a ticket to enjoy it from your living room- maybe dress in black tie attire and have a cocktail in hand for the occasion and it’ll feel like you’re there with us!”
Gatsby has previously been staged at the Crazy Coqs, the King’s Head, Riverside Studios, the Leicester Square Theatre, Theatre Royal Windsor and The Other Palace.
