On the announcement, lead producer of The Great Gatsby Chunsoo Shin said: “I am passionate about producing this show because it provides a modern audience with the true essence of idealism that is expressed eloquently in the novel and now on stage. The Great Gatsby is a masterpiece that grows and changes as it’s experienced by each new generation, in every culture, and people — and yet, still maintains its uniqueness, with its fascinating characters that burst with vitality.
"The entire team behind The Great Gatsby is beyond thrilled to present this timeless, glamorous, and resplendent production on Broadway — that is becoming even more refined, resonant, and expressive, following our world-premiere production.”
