Our stage musical presents Fitzgerald’s second novel as you’ve never seen it before. First conceptualized in 2019, this production has been plagued by the COVID-19 pandemic, suffering three cancellations in three years. The musical is fantastic — but the unbelievable dedication of the creative team behind it is what truly makes this story remarkable.
And the best part?
The only person on the creative team just turned 22.

“Before there was Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Beautiful and Damned: a story that delves into the psychological tribulations of, at first, having everything you’ve ever wanted. What first presents itself as a beautiful love story quickly turns harrowing as the characters struggle to keep themselves afloat. As New York City tumbles into the Jazz Age, Fitzgerald’s characters tumble down a financial and psychological spiral they may never recover from.
Our adaptation combines Fitzgerald’s meticulously detailed novel with the elements of a stage musical: a brand new script, score, and choreography. The show runs for about 2 and a half hours with one intermission, and includes a live orchestra.
The Beautiful and Damned is a tale about status above happiness, obsession above love, and death above life. Prepare to be transported a hundred years in the past— a time far away, yet more strikingly similar to today than you could ever imagine. “
