“All the bright precious things fade so fast, and they don't come back.”

On Saturday night we dressed in our finest evening and 1920's gear and headed in search of the green light, and the rumours and gossip on one of Gatsby's fabulous parties. 

The show is from the people that made L'Otel, and is the immersive experience of cabaret and dance performed around you.

“Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself"

Great music and spectacle, it's a joyous experience with cocktails, canapes and if you want to indulge, you can order a bottle of chmpagne to continue the party.

The frame work is around the Great Gatsby, visuals familiar to those who know the book. But that is not so necessary. 

 The show runs from , and felt it in others"16 December 2023 – 25 February 2024 so get a group together. Tables are for 6 but you can be smaller groups and share a table with strangers, which can be quite fun for preshow sociability.

Tickets available here.

We had a great time, and it's elevated fun to feel you've been transported to another time, but after the show, in the bathroom, all the women started singing the Tiesto song (that's used in the show). Two women started it but everyone joined in like a choir with the melody echoing around us. It was the most beautiful spontaneous & uplifting moment. I really wished I'd been able to record it. (but you know, hygiene). Then just like with Gatsby, the music stops and what is past can never be recreated....

“I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.”
