Best night out ever
15 March 2019
The show was great and they looked after my partly disabled hubby really well. Ensuring he had a seat and could see everything going on .

Brilliant night
17 February 2019
This was a brilliant night. From start to finish. The actors were superb, their voices so clear. Everyone was dressed up and ready for a great night which it was.

Absolute waste of money. The atmosphere was okay. However, the acting was terrible, the venue was disgusting and the play couldn’t have been less like the book/film. Wouldn’t recommend this at all, we left at the interval.

And now for something completely different
10 February 2019
We turned up half an hour early as advised and had made an effort to dress appropriately for the 1920's. We were amazed to find ourselves at the back of a long and noisy queue of mainly young people flamboyantly dressed as "flappers" in feathers boas and pearls (the women) or sharp suits bow ties slicked back hair and "spats" shoes (the men). After a warm welcome with clear laying down of the ground rules of "immersive theatre" including the need for complete exclusion of mobile phones in the 1920's we were encouraged to go to the bar where paradoxically it seemed that the 1920's eschewed cash and only accepted cards. The dingy prohibition era drinking dive set was soon further coloured by members of the cast mingling and introducing themselves to the audience. A rousing song from "Myrtle" in the bar naturally started the show proper before we were moved into the main set which was Gatsby's mansion. The audience were all guests at the party and the interaction between the strong clearly spoken cast and the audience was unique. After an initial dancing class in which everyone was encouraged to embrace the complexities of Charleston (or "Chair-stone for the less mobile) different "sub-groups" of the audience were taken into different rooms as different parts of the plot were developed without losing track of the overall story. The pathos of Gatsby's unrequited love for Daisy and George Wilson's betrayed love of Myrtle brought a moving silence to the end of an extraordinary production very cleverly engineered without conventional seats and stage. We would like to go back again and join a different "sub-group" for a different perspective...

If only I'd known
10 February 2019
I booked this on a whim to take my wife to a show in London and clearly didn't read the description. We arrived in Jeans and Trainers (perfect attire for having walked around the city all day) and felt under dressed and actually disappointed that we hadn't 'dolled up to the 9s'. The explanation of this being an immersive experience had my wife's social anxiety going through the roof but it needn't have. It was one the best experiences we've ever had and the immersion was anything but an invasion of personal space (as promised in the "house rules"). The show was amazing and the acting brilliant and honestly we left feeling the only thing that could have made it better was us being dressed to be more participative. We're even talking about going again!

Great experience
4 February 2019
It was really nice and fun definitely worth checking it out and dressing up was super fun. If you love the roaring 20s this is for you make sure to dress the part. However the drinks were too expensive and not much variety also its a lot of standing not much seats available but still good!

Loved it
From the moment we stepped into the cafe it was a fantastic experience with everyone we came across in character, from the doorman to bar staff and of course the cast mingling with everyone.
Then when the show began, the interaction with the audience was a new experience for me and just felt part of the show, in the show.

Best theatre experience Ever!!
30 December 2018
What an experience!! From the moment you enter the show you are indulged in the 1920's era and the place comes alive.
The actors are amazing and take on the roles of each character remarkably well.
We followed Gatsby for the first part, then Mirtle and then Daisy. It was such a great day.
We dressed up and felt like we were part of the crowd, we'd highly recommend joining in with the outfits!
All in all we had one of our best days out in London. Highly recommended and 5 star quality!!

Pushing the boundaries of what theatre can be ...
25 December 2018
An amazing night of immersion theatre. Invest some time in either reading the book or seeing Baz Lurhmanns film before going and you'll be handsomely rewarded by this production. Also, since you are paying for an immersive experience, make the effort to dress up.
The scenes take place in a variety of settings that have carefully crafted to create the atmosphere of the era. You'll be taken on one of many possible theatrical experiences. The entire premise relies on the duality of your own knowledge of the film/book, you'll need to be aware that as you are watching your scene others will be taking place that you will not see, but the chronology moves on. Embrace it, accept it, and enjoy the ride. At various points guests are given tasks, small groups are extracted and returned to other scenes. The dynamic is fluid which adds to the experience. Even during the interval, minor interactions take place.
Don't worry, it all comes together at the end and you leave thoroughly entertained.
Ignore the negative reviews, the avant guarde are often misjudged. The rules of theatre are being broken and the audiences are all the better for it.

The show was amazing and unlike anything I have ever seen, having read reviews previously about people being too drunk and the show being rude, I was sceptical. The show exceeded all of my expectations and you must go and see, I will be returning next year!!

A little bit disappointing!
29 November 2018
Unfortunately can't recommend this play. Even though it's a good idea and the actors are not bad. The venue is completely miserable Wearhouse let's face it. Therefore it was freezing cold so we kept our coats on for the 2 hours and were still freezing. The décor was so cheap sadly it was very far from glamorous. Our dresses cost more than the whole decor all together. The costumes of the actresses who supported to play rich girls were pathetic, I felt sorry for their looks. It was unnecessary stretched in 2 hours show. It was mostly us dancing, like a few times became boring the third time sorry! Do not pay full price for tickets, closer to the dates tickets go half price. It's a robery for what it is at the moment anyway. The very positive reviews fulled me to go see it, I wonder if they are fake reviews

A fantastic evening!
12 November 2018
I had such an amazing time with this performance, you can really feel how much effort and detail has been poured into it. I take my hat off to all the actors, immersive theatre can be tough depending on what your audience is like but they rolled with everything they were given. The set is astounding, your beautiful surroundings combined with the way the original story had been adapted truly made you feel you were a part of things, this was furthered even more so by each audience member having a completely different experience depending on which room they went to. My one tiny criticism was that to me, act 2 - especially towards the end, felt far less immersive and more like watching a traditional performance in a round, however, this is probably due to the original story being hard to keep set in one location.

Time travel to the Roaring 20's
11 October 2018
Excellent nights entertainment. it really feels like your at Gatsby's mansion. All the actors made it very real involving everyone in the plot. The actress who played Jordan baker was exceptional a real live wire. the actors who played Tom Baker , Jay Gatsby & George were fabulous. The dancing singing & speak easy bar made it all very authentic. Dress for the era and time travel.

We saw the production last night and were both blown away. The immersive experience was exciting, as you were never sure where you would be going next (you moved regularly to different rooms and spaces throughout the show) or what would happen. It was so much fun being interacted with by the cast, and I would recommend dressing up, heaps of people did in the audience and it really added to the experience.
