The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production

The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production at Murat Theatre at Old National Centre

The green light is a promise Gatsby can't stop chasing. On stage, that longing finds a musical voice. The Great Gatsby returns to the stage at the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis on December 13, 2026, at 1:00 PM, and this time the green light, the longing and the dazzling 1920s world of Gatsby and Daisy arrive through music. If you've ever closed F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel and wished you could step inside it, this is your invitation.

A stage adaptation can turn private yearning into something you feel in the room, shared with a whole audience at once. Kait Kerrigan wrote the book, Jason Howland composed the music and Nathan Tysen wrote the lyrics. Together, they translate a familiar literary world into song. Readers get the fun of seeing a beloved story reimagined live. Theatergoers get a fresh way into a tale they may only half remember from school. Either way, you're watching something you know become something you can experience.

It's also an easy afternoon to build a plan around. The presenter lists an approximate running time of two hours and thirty minutes, with one intermission, so a 1:00 PM matinee can become a full outing with friends, family or a fellow book lover. Then talk about it afterward, because stories this iconic always leave something to debate. Don't just revisit Gatsby's world in your head. Reserve your seats for The Great Gatsby in Indianapolis and see it brought to life on stage.
