The Great Gatsby is quite a complicated book. There are lots of different characters and although they are all different, they do play similar roles. Almost all of them seem to be married to one person and involved with someone else, or involved with two people. It can get quite confusing keeping track of all the affairs.

The Great Gatsby is a really sad but romantic book and this musical is a beautiful retelling of that story. As I’m sure most people know, it’s set in the 1920s with flappers, parties and lots of intrigue. I don’t usually enjoy stories about love triangles as they tend to focus more on the drama, but The Great Gatsby (which is more of a love pentagon anyway) is far more focused on the emotional side and the genuine feelings of the characters, as well as exploring some of the difficulties that women in particular faced when they were getting married.
