Paramount Theatre presents a circus-themed revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, running from April 30 to June 15, 2025. Directed by Trent Stork, this production will feature stunning acrobatics and performances from a talented cast, including Emily Rohm as Grizabella, Lorenzo Rush Jr. as Old Deuteronomy, and Donovan Hoffer as Rum Tum Tugger. Audiences will be immersed in the whimsical world of the Jellicle cats as they explore themes of identity and redemption through music and dance, highlighted by iconic songs like “Memory.” This reimagining promises to be a unique experience, showcasing the athletic grace of circus performers alongside the beloved characters of the musical.
