Partying with the Great Gatsby

by Bruce Chadwick
published 2023-10-27

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is considered by many to be the greatest novel ever written by an American (all right, Herman Melville's Moby Dick a close second). It is the story of an incredibly wealthy World War I war hero who has not seen his girlfriend in five years and tries desperately to get her back. He buys a Rolls Royce car, builds a multi-million-dollar mansion and throws the wildest parties the 1920s had ever seen. The problem is that in those long, long five years she married and had a child. So where does our rich war hero, Jay Gatsby, go?

by Adam F. Cohen

For 85 years, Paper Mill Playhouse has presented musicals and plays with loving flair. The house is saturated in history – near financial ruin, fire, and a devotion to theatrical arts.
