The L.A.-based World Ballet Company presents a visually stunning new production based on the classic novel The Great Gatsby. Featuring lavish sets and costumes, multimedia effects, and amazing acrobatics, the performance puts the narrative of wealth, romance, and tragedy tied to the American dream to an original score of jazz-inspired arrangements reminiscent of the Roaring ’20s. Renowned choreographer Ilya Zhivoy guides an all-star, multinational cast of 40 professional dancers through dynamic and sensual movements that capture the passion and mystery central to this iconic story.
Thursday 5/1. $45–105, 7pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. theparamount.net
