Review of "The Great Gatsby" at London Coliseum

Earlier today, I saw the matinee performance of "The Great Gatsby" at the London Coliseum near Charing Cross and Trafalgar Square. The 1920s have always had an allure from me, but I have never read the book nor seen the movie of the production, so this was my first introduction into the world of "The Great Gatsby". I purchased a Prosecco and chocolate bar and made my way into the theatre to watch the show. I cannot remember if I have seen a production at the London Coliseum before, but if I had, it was many years ago. 

Overall, the play was very good. The set and costume designs were particularly very good. I am not sure how true the production was to the book as I had not read it, but there was a nice blend of story and song. The singers and actors/actresses were talented here. The show finishes on September 7, so I encourage you to pay a visit in the final couple of weeks to see it before it goes.
