TL;DR Summary

"The Great Gatsby: The Immersive Show" is a theatrical performance of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel that opens this month at the Park Central Hotel in New York City. The production is the latest in a long line of "Gatsby" adaptations, which have increased since the novel's copyright expired in 2021. The immersive show aims to recreate the opulence of 1920s New York and asks the audience to put themselves into the story. The production features 10 principal characters, including the gangster Meyer Wolfsheim, whose character has been deepened while stripping away the antisemitic tropes that Fitzgerald relied on.
