"Genuinely a ground breaking show! For those who are true fans of the original, they will love this take on the work! I thought this was the high energy, interactive ingenuity that broadway NEEDS to continue to thrive. I do not understand why it’s closing. The talent of the cast -OVERFLOWING. The score, set, costumes, staging just all dazzled and nothing was “chopped.” Genuinely took an old work that was brilliant, paid homage so respectfully, and added deep new meaning that left all eyes wet even beyond “Memory.” Thank you genuinely to the entire team for making this art; I will be forever grateful I saw it.

The best show I've seen this year
"Purrrrrrrfect
A celebration of joy, inclusion, art, energy - what an outstanding and uplifting re-imagining of the original Cats. The whole cast is outstanding and I found myself listening to the original cast recording since (patiently waiting for this production to release their own recording).
Theatre at its best!"

This show is closing?!?!
"I treated myself to stage seat tickets for my birthday this past Wednesday and when I tell you, I have not been able to take my mind off this show. Every aspect of it is captivating and draws you in closer. The cast is legitimately full of all stars who make this production what it is. Will definitely be purchasing a ticket before the show closes in August. Truly criminal that that’s the case, and PLEASE Broadway, PBS, someone please do an official recording of this production or a cast album! This show is too precious to not immortalize!"

See it before it closes!
"This was such a unique show. It paid homage to the original Cats, but was its own brand of entertainment. It is very interactive and many audience members had seen it multiple times. I would too if it wasn’t closing. We sat onstage which made you feel even more in the moment."

See this show!
"I can't believe this show is set to close in a few weeks! Monday night, packed house, audience totally engaged. The creativity behind this show is off the charts. I will admit - I am old and saw the original Cats in London in previews with Andrew Lloyd Weber in audience taking notes. He has supported this reimagining of his show which incorporates ballroom without sacrificing the music and sort-of plot. I was "in" from the initial moment that the DJ pulls out the original Cats album (I had it!) and sets the show off. Wonderful! Unique! Amazing!"

Grand Spectacle from opening to Close
"I’ve been to a lot of musicals in my life but never been entertained as much throughout the production as I was in Cats: The Jellicle Ball. Every cast member was outstanding. I came to specifically to see Sidney James Harcourt, and he was superb. I was already planning to see the show again on my December NYC visit to only learn it will close early. My heart breaks for every cast member that was obviously pouring their hearts and souls in this production. The production gave relevance for some many diverse perspectives. "

Excellent reinvention of CATS!
"I had a great time at Cats: The Jellicle Ball! It's an extraordinary reimagining of the classic musical. I wasn't sure whether the ballroom setting would work, but it really does.
Some caution about the theater though. I sat in the second row balcony of the theater. The seats are narrow and extremely close to the seat in front of you. I am over six feet tall and did not fit in the seats, which was a first for me. Thankfully the seat next to me was empty and I was able to sit sideways.
Also, the production has extended the stage to accommodate the runway. There was about 10-15% of the show I literally could not see because it extended beyond the balcony field of vision.
In short, the show is definitely worth seeing, but don't sit in the balcony. And if you're tall, make sure you have an aisle seat."

About
Cats: The Jellicle Ball
Come one, come all – The Jellicle Cats are having a BALL. Based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, Andrew Lloyd Webber's worldwide phenomenon CATS is reimagined in a production that smashed records, won awards and left New York City purring. And now CATS: The Jellicle Ball ascends to Broadway in a kaleidoscope of glittering spectacle, iconic music and electrifying ballroom choreography that The New York Times calls “a lightning strike that sets joy free!
Broadway meets Runway in the fiercest event of the season, directed by Obie Award winners Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch, with choreography by Obie Award winners and New York City Ballroom legends Omari Wiles (House of Ricci) and Arturo Lyons (House of Miyake-Mugler). Don’t miss this “sexy celebration of love and resilience” (New York Daily News) and “the most exhilarating fun that can be had in the theater” (The Washington Post).
