The Great Gatsby at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio

The Great Gatsby, the new Broadway musical adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic 1925 novel, is coming to the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio for eight performances from March 16 through March 21, 2027. This highly anticipated production brings the Jazz Age to life on stage with a score that captures the glamour, ambition, and heartbreak of one of the greatest American novels ever written. The story of Jay Gatsby's obsessive pursuit of Daisy Buchanan amid the glittering excess of 1920s Long Island has captivated readers for a century, and the musical gives it a new voice through song, dance, and theatrical spectacle.

The musical premiered on Broadway in 2024 and has been praised for its lush orchestrations, Art Deco-inspired scenic design, and choreography that evokes the era's jazz clubs and speakeasies. The score blends period-appropriate jazz and ragtime influences with contemporary theatrical songwriting, creating a sound that feels both historically rooted and dramatically modern. Nick Carraway, the novel's narrator, guides the audience through Gatsby's world of bootleg fortune, lavish parties, and ultimately tragic romance, while the characters of Tom and Myrtle Buchanan, Jordan Baker, and the enigmatic Gatsby himself come alive through songs that deepen Fitzgerald's themes of aspiration, disillusion, and the elusive American Dream.

The Majestic Theatre (2,311 seats, 224 East Houston Street) is a 1929 National Historic Landmark in the atmospheric style — and its ornate, period-appropriate architecture makes it an especially fitting venue for a show set in the 1920s. The theater's Spanish Colonial towers, starlit ceiling, and Art Deco-adjacent design elements create an environment that enhances the Jazz Age atmosphere of the production. The Majestic is in downtown San Antonio, steps from the River Walk and the Alamo.

This is part of the 2026–2027 Broadway in San Antonio season. Whether you're a lifelong Fitzgerald devotee or discovering the story for the first time, The Great Gatsby on stage is a theatrical experience that captures the novel's magic in a medium that Fitzgerald himself — who was fascinated by theater and Hollywood — would have loved.

San Antonio's March weather is ideal for a theater outing, with warm days and pleasant evenings perfect for a River Walk dinner before or after the show. The eight-performance run offers both evening and matinee options.

Fitzgerald's novel, published in 1925, was initially a commercial disappointment but has since become one of the most widely read and studied works in American literature. It has been adapted into multiple films — most notably the 1974 version starring Robert Redford and the 2013 Baz Luhrmann production with Leonardo DiCaprio — and the Broadway musical represents the latest and arguably most immersive interpretation of the story. The live theatrical format allows audiences to experience Gatsby's legendary parties as participants rather than observers, with the music, choreography, and staging creating a sensory experience that no screen can replicate. For San Antonio theatergoers, this March engagement brings one of Broadway's most talked-about new musicals to the Majestic at the height of spring.
