Great fun revisiting a childhood favorite
"Surprisingly reverent to the original score. Some more successful character updates and interpretations than others. Bombalurina was a young homage to Marsha P. Johnson. 😍 Old Deutoronomy was FABULOUS. Creatively introduced and wove in ballroom culture."

A Raucous Time…in the best Possible Way
"My grandchild (16) asked for tickets for Christmas. A trip to NYC is always a fun time. Cats: The Jellicle Ball was a good time. Exactly what I thought it would be but better. My favorite were the costumes! Wow, someone with great talent & eye for detail did an excellent job. The actors were amazingly talented. Everyone from grandparent, adult kid & grands all would recommend the show."

Fun but not what I was expecting
"It was a very specific subject matter that I was not familiar with until I went home and researched. Half the performers seemed like professional artists but the others just average. It was fun and entertaining but I would maybe pick a different show if you want an understandable storyline or traditional broadway show. "

"If you did not see "CATS" and don't know about the "BALLS" you will be totally lost watching this play. "

Disappointing Cats version
"As innovative and intricate of a production this was, it is definitely a very hard story line to follow. The only good song was Memories. Definitely not a show we will recommend or repeat."

Where were the cats?
"From the beginning it was nonstop musical. Unable to understand the words in the songs. I tried to figure it out, I understood there were having a competition and someone got a trophy for winning. The fans they handed out for the audience to snap was very distracting. It was obvious there were a lot of spectators that had seen the play before as they all sang the songs. I frequent broadway at least 20 times a year. This was nothing I excepted. The actors were in regular clothes, not as cats. The dancing was amazing and found that to be the best part. They didn’t prowl around like cats. Don’t waste your money. "

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).
