The full company for The Great Gatsby has now been revealed.

The show, also currently playing on Broadway, is based on F Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel about a self-made millionaire and his quest for the American Dream (in the arms of the married woman living across the bay).

The Great Gatsby features a book by Kait Kerrigan (The Mad Ones), an original score by Tony Award nominees Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen (Paradise Square), and direction by Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical). You can read our exclusive interview with Bruni here.

The production is choreographed by Dominique Kelley (who we also interviewed recently), with Tony Award-winning costume design by Linda Cho and Outer Critics Circle Award-winning scenic and projection design by Paul Tate de Poo III. The team is completed by lighting designer Cory Pattak, sound designer Brian Ronan, hair and wig designers Drama Desk Award winner Charles G LaPointe and Rachael Geier. Arrangements are by Jason Howland, orchestrations are by Howland and Kim Scharnberg and the music producer is Grammy Award winner Billy Jay Stein for Strike Audio. UK casting is by Jill Green Casting.

As exclusively revealed last week, primed to lead the show in the West End will be Jamie Muscato, taking on the role of Jay Gatsby, while joining him as Daisy Buchanan will be Frances Mayli McCann.

Joining them and unveiled today at a glitzy event in the heart of the West End are their supporting company members. Corbin Bleu will be playing Nick Carraway, Amber Davies as Jordan Baker, Joel Montague (Hamilton) as George Wilson, John Owen-Jones as Meyer Wolfsheim, Jon Robyns as Tom Buchanan and Rachel Tucker as Myrtle Wilson.
