One hundred years ago, in 1925, Charles Scribner's Sons published The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Since then, the novel has become a timeless classic of American fiction, inspiring countless other writers, as well as film and musical theater adaptations. The novel invited us into the lives of the “rotten crowd,” Jazz Age Americans with far more money than morals.
Step back into the dazzling world of the Jazz Age with A Roaring 20s Revue: A Gatsby Centennial Celebration! In honor of the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby, this lively evening of music, dance, and storytelling brings the spirit of the Roaring 20s to life.
Featuring dynamic performances by Keith Brown, Joanie Brittingham, and Samantha Nahra, the program showcases jazz-age classics, alongside evocative selections from Evan Mack’s Ghost of Gatsby and traditional Irish music of the 20s. From the sultry swing of Ain’t Misbehavin’ to the irresistible charm of Let’s Misbehave, and even a Charleston lesson to get your feet moving, this celebration immerses you in the music and magic of Fitzgerald’s world.
With toe-tapping tunes, heartfelt ballads, and readings from The Great Gatsby, this is an evening of revelry, romance, and roaring good fun. So grab a cocktail, don your finest flapper dress or dapper suit, and join us for a night Gatsby himself would never forget!
