Do you fancy a good party, Old Sport? Then have we got a great one for you… Fresh off its record-shattering, sold-out run at Paper Mill Playhouse (New Jersey), The Great Gatsby has roared to life on Broadway. Starring Jeremy Jordan (Newsies, NBC’s Smash) as the eccentric and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Eva Noblezada (Hadestown, Miss Saigon) as the enigmatic Daisy Buchanan, this Tony Award-nominated duo brings one of the greatest American novels to life on stage in a dazzling and lush new musical.  The Great Gatsby is a new musical adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s beloved 1925 novel—turning 100 years old next year!—set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, New York. Photograph provided by The Great Gatsby on Broadway Featuring a book by Kait Kerrigan, music by Jason Howland, lyrics by Nathan Tysen, choreography by Dominique Kelley, and direction by Marc Bruni, it's the most glamorous affair Broadway has ever seen. Still feeling cold feet though? Well, here are five reasons that The Great Gatsby is going to become your next Broadway obsession! 

It’s hard to top NYC during the holiday season. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and the city sparkles with seasonal cheer. From the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to spectacular holiday light displays and festive holiday markets, there’s no shortage of holiday merriment in the city. You can find a perfect tree or take a spin on an ice skating rink, then grab a pic with Santa. If all this joy makes you want to burst into song, you’re in luck. There are plenty of opportunities to sing Christmas carols in NYC with other merry revelers. Join in one of these singalongs and you can carol at the top of your lungs, even if you don’t know all the words to O Tannenbaum or sing a little off key. After a few rounds of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Silent Night, warm up with a steaming mug of hot chocolate and you’ll be merry and bright throughout the season.
