What I liked

Loved the actress who played Daisy. Entire cast was good. Loved the way the various stage managers ushered the audience around, like in Chinese classical theatre where supposedly invisible stage hands had off props to the actor. They were there, but not there.
The way the set was used was highly creative & truly artistic.

What I didn't like

I wish the actors could have maintained greater eye contact.

My overall impression

I thoroughly enjoyed GATSBY. The immersive process was somewhat like wearing 3D head set where a virtual reality surrounds you, yet you are safe. Rather than being a fly on the wall as most proscenium arches suggest, one is actually sitting at the table of fascinating characters. It was intimate and fun and fascinating.
