“Experience a sparkling world inspired by Fitzgerald’s classic novel The Great Gatsby, where the parties of the 1920s meet with the 2020s.

Get ready to be outrageously entertained through the prism of cabaret, variety, and contemporary music. Take your seat at The Green Light, the hottest club in town — owned by none other than the great Gatsby himself. It’s an electrifying establishment radiating extravagance, vitality, and abandon, built in the pursuit of love.

Sip on a delightfully infused gin martini as you find yourself captivated by extraordinary aerial displays, an electric soundtrack, awe-inspiring vocals, mesmerising choreography, and resplendent costumes. These ageless vaudeville acts have been reimagined to cast a spell over the ultimate summer soirée.

Celebrate the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby and get ready to party like it’s 1925 as the curtains rise on a new age of old-world splendour. In a glorious revival of grandeur, Brisbane’s beloved Twelfth Night Theatre reawakens as a jewel of the city’s cabaret scene and is transformed into The Green Light. The iconic venue has been reimagined and reinvigorated as a jazz age club fit for Fitzgerald and Gatsby alike.

Among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars, a dazzling experience at The Green Light awaits…”
