Immersive Gatsby to Play Final Performance This Sunday

The Great Gatsby: The Immersive Show will end its run at the Park Central Hotel this coming Sunday, August 27. It will have played 20 previews and 68 regular performances.

Billed as the UK’s longest-running immersive production, it made its American debut on June 25 in Gatsby Mansion, a ballroom and adjoining corridors of the Park Central Hotel that have been specially renovated for the show, which brings audiences inside F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel about the American Dream. You can read TheaterMania’s review of The Great Gatsby: The Immersive Show here.

A press release characterized the closing as a “final Summer performance,” suggesting that the production may eventually return in another season — but no dates have been announced.

In an official statement, the show’s producers said, “We are thrilled and proud of the extraordinary transformation of the historic Park Central Hotel into the iconic Gatsby Mansion, and we look forward to hosting more spectacular entertainment, fabulous deco parties, big band music, and favorite DJs in our after-hours nightspot at the unique Gatsby Mansion space in the fall.”
