Celebrate the 100th anniverary of "The Great Gatsby" at the American Irish Historical Society

The American Irish Historical Society in NYC will bring the spirit of the roaring 20s to life in celebration of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" this Saturday, April 12.

100 years ago, in 1925, Charles Scribner's Sons published "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Since then, the novel has become a timeless classic of American fiction, inspiring countless other writers, as well as film and musical theater adaptations. The novel invites us into the lives of the “rotten crowd,” Jazz Age Americans with far more money than morals.

In honor of the 100th anniversary of "The Great Gatsby," a lively evening of music, dance, and storytelling at the American Irish Historical Society will bring the spirit of the Roaring 20s to life.

Step back into the dazzling world of the Jazz Age with "A Roaring 20s Revue: A Gatsby Centennial Celebration" at the American Irish Historical Society this Saturday from 6:30 pm.

Featuring dynamic performances by Keith Brown, Joanie Brittingham, and Samantha Nahra, the program showcases jazz-age classics alongside evocative selections from Evan Mack’s "Ghost of Gatsby" and traditional Irish music of the 20s. From the sultry swing of "Ain’t Misbehavin’" to the irresistible charm of "Let’s Misbehave," and even a Charleston lesson to get your feet moving, this celebration immerses you in the music and magic of Fitzgerald’s world.

With toe-tapping tunes, heartfelt ballads, and readings from "The Great Gatsby," this is an evening of revelry, romance, and roaring good fun. So grab a cocktail, don your finest flapper dress or dapper suit, and join us for a night Gatsby himself would never forget!

Tickets to "A Roaring 20s Revue: A Gatsby Centennial Celebration" at the American Irish Historical Society are available here.
