Now that theatres are getting the "green light", it's fitting that big blockbuster new musicals are also unveiled!
Florence Welch, of
Florence and the Machine fame, will be the co-composer and lyricist on a new version of
The Great Gatsby, alongside Oscar and Grammy Award nominee Thomas Bartlett. Pulitzer Prize winner Martyna Majok (
Cost of Living) will create the book, based on F Scott Fitzgerald's iconic 20th century novel, with timeline to be revealed.
Rebecca Frecknall (
Summer and Smoke) will direct the piece, which has yet to reveal where it will play before it heads to Broadway. We're keeping all fingers crossed that it'll be this side of the Atlantic. Jeanie O'Hare serves as story consultant.
