A world premiere musical will be debuting Friday, March 22, at the Fountain Hills Theater, but the story itself will be a familiar one for many theatergoers.

"The Great Gatsby" is based on the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, taking us inside life in the Roaring '20s.

Peter Hill is the artistic director of the Fountain Hills Theater and wrote the new musical. He spoke about it with The Show.
