This time last year, director Craig Ilott had two shows running at the Sydney Opera House, Amadeus in the Concert Hall and Velvet Rewired in the Studio. This year, he’s back with a new cabaret-variety show called GATSBY, which will transform the Studio into The Green Light, the hottest club in town. Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, the show will include aerial, burlesque, dance and circus performances accompanied by live vocals. Ilott says, “We’ve taken elements entrenched in the 1920s – the vaudeville, the fashion, the hospitality – and remixed them with a bold 2020s beat, with the aim of creating an evening that feels both contemporary and captivating.”
