Performance Space New York has revealed its exciting Spring/Summer 2024 programming. Stay tuned for a diverse lineup of performances and events.

JACK presents: Naughty Daughtyr by Bailey Nolan, May 16 - 18, 2017. 

Lloyd Webber clarifies that what brought on the threat of the lawsuit was not the use of the songs, but rather his intent on protecting the works of poet T.S. Eliot.

KATDASHIANS! BREAK THE MUSICAL!, the very unauthorized musical parody of the Kardashians reimagined as cats, has extended its run. Performances at Times Square's Elektra Theatre will now run through July 30, 2016. Arguably one of the most important stories in the US and UK this week after Andrew Lloyd Webber's legal complaint against the show, New York's most controversial musical will now feature six all new songs. Below, get look into the lives of the Katdashians, America's First Feline Family, as they star in a new musical!

The show was forced to cut any tunes which sound similar to music from Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic musical CATS, following legal pressures from Lloyd Webber's legal team.

Bob and Tobly McSmith have announced that due to overwhelming demand Katdashians! Break the Musical! will transfer to Elektra Theater. After a sold out run at Theatre 80 from May 27 - June 4th, the Katdashians will be headed up to Times Square with performances beginning on June 16th running through July 16th.   

National Lampoon / David Galpern / Bob and Tobly McSmith release the official cast photos of KATDASHIANS! THE MUSICAL!, the unauthorized parody of Kardashians as told through Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic musical CATS. Scroll down for a sneak peek!

Bailey Nolan (Ann Liv Young Dance Company) mounts a one-woman cabaret with a cast of ten, re-imagining 'Dumbo' as the tale of a gender-free outcast. Relayed through a series of vignettes told from the vantage point of Dumbo's mother (a retired showgirl played by Nolan herself), the extravaganza features fearless performers from her collective BabySkinGlove, including Charley Parden, Viva Soudan, Nessa Norich, Ellen Robin Rosenberg and Wesley Flash. With a pop music soundtrack that includes Mariah Carey, Johnny Cash, Florence and the Machine, Aerosmith and Joni Mitchell, Nolan and companions bridge the gap between unabashed self-indulgence and delicate nostalgia. The tale is told in two acts with a whirlwind of lightly choreographed emotions as explored on the laps of the audience.
