The Fitzgeralds: a Reading with Music

Marking the centennial of The Great Gatsby, The Fitzgeralds: A Reading with Music revisits the lives behind one of the most enduring works of American literature.
At the heart of this performance lies the extraordinary correspondence between F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald — letters that reveal a relationship shaped by ambition, artistry, and emotional complexity. Through their own words, we encounter two singular voices whose love and conflict fueled some of the most iconic writing of the 20th century.
Directed by Stephen Hamilton, this reading features acclaimed performers Melissa Errico and Alec Baldwin, with an original live score by composer/performer, Forrest Gray, that brings new resonance to the Fitzgeralds’ words. Poised between literature and performance, memory and music, The Fitzgeralds is a reflective tribute to the people behind the prose.
