'The Great Gatsby' immersive show was relaunched in London with the necessary precautions
LONDON - Amid the sharp suits and glamorous dresses in 1920s styles, the fashion accessory of 2020 - the face mask - stood out as guests lined up in a socially distanced queue for the relaunch of “The Great Gatsby” in London’s West End on Thursday evening.
Despite the measures, the enjoyment of those attending the show set in the world of American author F. Scott Fitzgerald’s millionaire character Jay Gatsby, was palpable. Theatres, music halls and other entertainment venues in London’s West End were shut down in March to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.
The venue’s capacity has been more than halved to around 100 and the show’s content altered to avoid activity that would be considered high risk.“We used to have a 250-person Charleston that was really gorgeous to watch but it’s probably not the most responsible thing to do, so we’ve turned that into a new scene,” said the production company’s chief creative officer, Brian Hook.
