How about treating yourself or Mum to a day trip to the Durham Performing Arts Center for the Broadway production of Great Gatsby, "Old Sport"? This is limited date show on Mother's Day and the tickets were difficult to secure but I did it "Old Sport"! Can you guess how many times Jay Gatsby says "Old Sport" during the musical? As a reminder, THE GREAT GATSBY is a “Broadway extravaganza that explodes with life and energy” (Entertainment Weekly). Based on the classic American novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the Tony Award®-winning new musical is an unforgettable journey of love, wealth and tragedy that brings the Roaring Twenties to life on stage.
