The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production

The Great Gatsby - Theatrical Production at Fabulous Fox Theatre - St. Louis

Some stories refuse to stay on the page. The Great Gatsby is one of them, and on December 23, 2026, it takes the stage at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis. This is a theatrical production, a stage musical built from Fitzgerald's novel about love, wealth and tragedy in the 1920s. You will not be watching a film screening. You will be in the room while the story unfolds in front of you.

Why does that matter? Because this is a story about longing. It is about wanting something so badly that you build a whole life around it, and about what that costs. On stage, those feelings have nowhere to hide. Love, ambition and heartbreak play out in real time, and a live audience takes in every turn together. The musical's jazz- and pop-influenced score gives the Roaring Twenties a sound that feels both period and present. Whether you first met these characters in a classroom or have simply always been curious, seeing the tale performed live is a different experience from reading it.

Then there is the night itself. The curtain rises at 7:30 PM, just two days before Christmas, which makes it a natural pick for a date night, a family outing or a night out with friends who love a good story. Plan the dinner. Pick the outfit. Give yourself something to look forward to in the busy final stretch of the year. When the lights go down in St. Louis, you will share a dramatic, glittering, ultimately tragic tale with everyone around you. Reserve your seats for The Great Gatsby at the Fabulous Fox Theatre and make this one a night to remember.
