The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production

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

Behind Gatsby's glittering world lies a question with no easy answer: can you recreate a past that's gone? On December 11 at 7:00 PM, The Great Gatsby takes the stage at Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis, and the novel you may remember from a bookshelf becomes something you can sit inside. Gatsby. Daisy. The 1920s. Now carried by music, in a live theatrical production rather than a film screening.

That shift matters. A familiar story can feel new when songs lift its emotion off the page. This touring musical is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, with a book by Kait Kerrigan, music by Jason Howland and lyrics by Nathan Tysen. Three theatrical voices, one famous world. If you've ever wondered how longing, ambition and reinvention might sound when sung, this is your chance to find out. It's also the Broadway-associated The Great Gatsby, distinct from Gatsby: An American Myth, so you know exactly which production you're choosing.

Then there's the simple pleasure of making a night of it. Broadway in Indianapolis lists the run December 8-13, 2026, and the presenter notes an approximate running time of two hours and thirty minutes with one intermission. That's a full evening with room to settle in, step out for a breath, and return to the story. You'll have plenty to talk about afterward. Don't just revisit Gatsby in your memory. Reserve your seats for The Great Gatsby in Indianapolis and see this classic story told through song.
