CATS: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway tickets
About Cats: The Jellicle Ball
Get CATS: The Jellicle Ball tickets on New York Theatre Guide to see Andrew Lloyd Webber's worldwide phenomenon back in New York, reimagined in the ball culture scene. Based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, this CATS: The Jellicle Ball musical smashed records, won awards, and left New York City purring. Now, it's a three-time Tony Award winner for Best Direction, Best Choreography, and Best Costume Design.
Cats has always been a show about competing performers, but now that ensemble of performers make up a team of ballroom stars. With a cast that combines Broadway talent with ball culture icons, this version of CATS: The Jellicle Ball in New York City is as vibrant and thumping as the Big Apple itself. Don't miss electrifying ballroom choreography that The New York Times calls “a lightning strike that sets joy free."
The production, which features hit songs like "Memory" and "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats," earned rave reviews from critics: it's a "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).
Off Broadway, this revival also took home prizes: Obie Award winners Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch direct, with choreography by Obie Award winners and New York City Ballroom legends Omari Wiles (House of Ricci) and Arturo Lyons (House of Miyake-Mugler). The cast, too, took home an Obie Award for their ensemble work, and the original Broadway production won the Tony Award for Best Musical.
Now, Cats returns to Broadway in a kaleidoscope of glittering spectacle, iconic music, and unforgettably fierce dancing. Come one, come all to the amazing Jellicle Ball. Tickets to CATS: The Jellicle Ball are available here now.
