What I liked

Live Stand Up Bass Player and Xylophone player. All actors really well cast and extremely talented. Chapter One of Great Gatsby narrated by Nick and the entire audience plays Nick. They all greet you and make eye contact. If you love immersive you will love it. If you do not love immersive….you will LOVE it. No one is cajoled or ever made uncomfortable. It truly gives you the MOOD of the GG by FSFitzgerald. It is done in modern dress yet it doesn’t pull away. It is set in the 20s but it highlights how relevant this story is even today. The movement between spaces is lovely especially in a brave new COVID world. Really fun.

What I didn't like

If you are deathly afraid of a hint of immersive theatre I guess this isn’t for you but I don’t think you would go anyway. I really cannot think of anything.

My overall impression

Really fun and just immersive enough.
