The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production

The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production at Fabulous Fox Theatre - St. Louis

Some stories wait for the right night out. The Great Gatsby is a stage musical based on Fitzgerald's novel about love, wealth and tragedy in the 1920s, and it arrives at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis on December 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM. This is a live theatrical production, not a film screening. That difference matters when the story is built on longing, glittering ambition and the cost of chasing a dream.

Think about why this tale still pulls people in. It asks big questions about what we want, who we become to get it, and what we risk along the way. On stage, those questions move from the page into the room. A musical gives them a voice, and the production's jazz and pop-influenced score gives the story a heartbeat that reading alone can't match. If you know the novel, you can see its famous world performed live. If you don't, you can meet it fresh as a story of romance, money and heartbreak.

An afternoon performance in St. Louis also makes a good reason to gather people. Plan a family outing, a date, or a get-together with friends who love a classic told in a new way. You'll have something to talk about long after the final scene. The best theatre leaves you debating a character's choices on the way out the door. Make the day after Christmas a little more memorable, and grab your seats for The Great Gatsby at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.
