Nicholas Christopher Set For Carnegie Hall
Bermudian actor Nicholas Christopher has joined the cast of The Great War & The Great Gatsby at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
Performances will take place on Monday, April 21 and Tuesday, April 22 at 7.30pm.
A description of the production on Broadway World reads: “Directed by Tony Award-winner Michael Mayer [Spring Awakening], this newly reimagined production – equal parts concert, suspense, drama, romance, tribute, and exhibition of rare and iconic images and film from the National Archives – brings fresh insights, newly uncovered research, and additional musical selections to create a vivid and emotionally powerful journey for this musical and visual exploration of World War I.
“F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, which marks the 100th anniversary of its publication this month, is a starting point as Monsky guides the audience through the war’s origins and its harrowing climax during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, as seen through the wartime experiences of both fictional and real-life figures: WWI veterans Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway; combat pilot Quentin Roosevelt, the son of President Theodore Roosevelt; soldier and music pioneer, Harlem Hellfighter, James Reese Europe; author Vera Brittain, a young nurse who loses everything in the war, except her determination to end all wars; Charles Whittlesey, a shy New York lawyer leading a melting pot of soldiers trapped under fire in the Meuse-Argonne Forest; New York debutante Flora Payne Whitney; and Cher Ami, a homing pigeon who becomes an unlikely symbol of American resolve and fortitude.”
