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 icons Omari Wiles (House of NiNa Oricci) 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).

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR CATS: The Jellicle Ball

‘Cats: The Jellicle Ball’ Review: A Purrrfect Melding of ‘Cats’ and the Queer Ballroom Scene
9 / 10

Cats: The Jellicle Ball radiates, too, in its particular interest in honoring queer elders. That’s baked into this version of the story, with projections of real founding house mothers from the ballroom scene that includes the fictional Grizabella and her own House of Glamour. Her legacy, Old Deutronomy reminds the next generation, must be venerated. And that extends to the presence of de Shields and LaBeija, meta-theatrically embodying living history in both their on-stage relationships and off-stage bios. There’s a generous spirit here, one that Nunn and Lloyd Webber didn’t quite conceive of

Cats: The Jellicle Ball review: Purr-fect Broadway revival breathes new life into a classic
9 / 10

Through it all, there's a euphoric energy pulsing through the theater, manifesting in several moving ways. Quiet weeping, dropped jaws, fervent applause and the occasional attendee literally vibrating with excitement. Obviously, everyone sporting cat ears to the show knows they're in for a treat — but you need not come with the score already memorized. The spectacle of Jellicle Ball is intoxicating for all who enter and give themselves over to the glamor. Grade: A

Art as Activism on Broadway: CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL and the Power of Joy as Resistance
by Cynthia L. Dorsey - April 18, 2026


Art as Activism on Broadway is a recurring series exploring how theater can move beyond entertainment to serve as a catalyst for social change, advocacy, and cultural dialogue.
