This was our Yule card in 2000, the year CATS closes on Broadway (sniff!) The costumes were also our Halloween garb that year. Yeah I know the season has passed so apply it to the holiday of your choice :-)I'm CatAnna and you're about to paw through the theatrical section of This is a tribute to our favorite musical which is of based on ailurophile T.S. Eliot's wonderful Even though you don't see much going on onstage in (the producers must have thought that too interesting to an audience of humans) rest assured that when the Jellicles aren't dancing, singing, performing feats of magic or pouncing on one another, they are deep in meditation on I first saw Cats in 1987 at the Winter Garden Theater in Manhattan. I'd read about this fantastical musical in which actors themselves into Eliot's Jellicles and was inspired to buy the Book of the Musical which is a work of art unto itself. Sketches of costumed otherworldly cats give way to

photos of flesh & blood feline characters. These are not cartoon pussy cats. points of view and histories and emotions and relationships. The set is a dreamlike marvel. I bought the sound track which came on 2 LPs... I don't think CDs existed yet. The songs were irresistable. I had to see this show! When I finally did (with my Mom, another fan) I wasn't disappointed. The Jellicles and their magical junkyard came to life before my eyes & the show crackled with energy from start to finish. balcony seats with a great view of the stage. When the cats weren't onstage, they often slinked around the fringes of the audience. And the performances onstage were one star turn after to single out anyone but I was especially impressed with Mistoffellees. They were all marvelous. But it was Grizabella as played by the late great Laurie Beechman* who really touched my heart. When she was finally accepted back into the tribe and transcended to the Heaviside Layer... well that was a four handkerchief

Anyone who knows what it is to feel like an outsider can easily identify with Griz. And the older I get, the more deeply the Memory of Grizabella and of all the splendiforous cats haunts me. Griz is still my favorite and a large portion of this site is devoted to her. If you're a fellow Grizafanantic you can paw on over to the If you'd rather meet the other Cats first, read on... I saw CATS again at the end of March, 2000... I wanted to see it one more time before the announced Broadway closing date on June 25 and I wanted to share it with my husband John. Due to an outpouring of media coverage, fan sentiment and heightened ticket sales CATS was extended to run at the Winter Garden Theater through September 10, 2000. As I'm writing this, it's September 11 and last night CATS closed on Broadway after an 18 year run (sob!) Yeah, that's pretty long but No, it's not long enough, dernit! I really wanted to see it again. And again and again!

Of course it's still playing in London and and in many other cities around the world. And I have heard talk of another US tour. Still, it won't be the same Great White Way without my favorite one-world logo on the marquee of the Winter Garden Theatre.We missed you and now you're back at the Neil Simon Theater!Discount up to $50 Discount Offers on Cats Tickets Valid for performances through October 4, 2016 Copy the code below Discount up to $50 Expires October 4th, 2016Patio Furniture Egypt More Options To BuyBlack Canyon Patio Furniture Call 877-250-2929 and mention code BOX1Shower Head Remove Iron or display this page from your device 250 West 52nd Street New York, NY 10019 About Cats - On Broadway

2 hours and 15 minutes (with 1 intermission) Write the first review! Andy Blankenbuehler, the Tony-winning choreographer of Hamilton,... injects precision and verve and allows several of the performers, in their equitably distributed spotlight moments, to show off grandly. Among the most exciting are Ricky Ubeda as the magician cat, Mistoffelees; Tyler Hanes, playing Rum Tug Tugger, the rock-and-roll cat, and Jess LeProtto and Shonica Gooden as the mischief makers Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer. Peter Marks, Washington Post Highlights include balletic Georgina Pazcoguin, all in white, who moves as if she loves being in her skin, and Ricky Ubeda as Mr. Mistoffelees, who unspools turns and leaps with soft-paw landings. It's kitschy and fun, sometimes quite touching, and marvelously well done. It'll likely be very nostalgic for anyone who saw the show before, and, I'm guessing, a treat for people who haven't...A Comprehensive Curtain Call of Broadway Costumes
