Discover Long Island, the region’s only accredited destination marketing organization, is excited to announce an exclusive new partnership with The Great Gatsby Broadway, in anticipation of the iconic novel's 100th anniversary in 2025. This collaboration aims to bring the glamour and allure of Gatsby’s Jazz Age to life, while highlighting Long Island's rich historical and cultural ties to F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless masterpiece.

The Great Gatsby, a novel deeply intertwined with the opulent lifestyle and social dynamics of Long Island's Gold Coast, has captivated readers for generations. As we approach this significant milestone, Discover Long Island looks forward to engaging with fans of the novel and the Broadway production in meaningful ways, celebrating the enduring legacy of Gatsby's world.

"We are delighted to partner with The Great Gatsby Broadway musical to highlight Long Island’s beautiful Gold Coast region in commemoration of the centennial of this literary classic,” said Kristen Reynolds, President & CEO of Discover Long Island. "This collaboration with the Tony Award-winning musical and their incredibly talented cast connects the inspiration of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless novel to the beauty and rich cultural heritage of Long Island, increasing awareness and driving visitation to  the many Gatsby-era mansions, gardens and historical attractions our destination has to offer.”

The party's roaring on Broadway! Starring Broadway superstars Jeremy Jordan (Newsies) and Eva Noblezada (Hadestown), THE GREAT GATSBY is a "lush, bewitching, and dazzling" (The New York Times) new musical based on the classic American novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, this story of extravagance and longing "delivers more than any other new musical of the Broadway season" (Time Out).

“We are so excited to partner with Discover Long Island to celebrate the deep connection that our show has with the region,” said the team behind the production of The Great Gatsby Broadway. “A century ago, F. Scott Fitzgerald whisked readers away to the now-iconic mansions of Long Island's Gold Coast, imprinting their opulence in the world’s imagination. Today, we are honored to get to do the same with our production of THE GREAT GATSBY on Broadway.”

Through this partnership, Discover Long Island and The Great Gatsby Broadway will collaborate on various special promotions that explore the stunning landscapes and storied past of Long Island as well as showcase the array of talent within the Broadway production. From ticket giveaways and exclusive branded merchandise, to social media features, a cast appearance at Discover Long Island’s Annual Tourism Awards Gala, and much more, this collaboration offers a unique opportunity to delve into the extravagance of the Roaring Twenties.

To honor the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby, Discover Long Island and The Great Gatsby Broadway encourage fans and curious travelers alike to immerse themselves in the world of Gatsby, discovering the beauty and history that continue to define Long Island’s Gold Coast.
