Timeless classic to grace the stage
ALL the opulence of The Great Gatsby: A Jazz Ballet Odyssey will fill the Cairns Performing Arts Centre in April.
This dazzling premiere promises to be an unforgettable night out, as F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless classic is reimagined with full theatrical spectacle.
Directed and choreographed by Joel Burke, with narration arranged by James Millar, audiences can expect breathtaking choreography, bedazzled costumes, big sets, and the glitz and glamour of one of the most famous stories of all time.
The score blends masterpieces such as Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, and James P Johnson’s The Charleston alongside bold new compositions by Jason Fernandez as well as Dominic Cabusi.
Audiences will also witness some of the world’s greatest dancers deliver a genre-defying fusion of ballet, tap, and jazz on stage.
The Great Gatsby will be performed at CPAC from 16-18 April, with tickets now for sale from www.ticketlink.com.au
