About the show
The Off-Broadway sensation transfers to Broadway in 2026: a radical reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats as a queer ballroom-culture spectacle, set inside an underground Jellicle Ball. Bill Rauch and Zhailon Levingston direct. Vogueing, runway, and contemporary R&B reshape the Lloyd Webber score. Detailed schedule and venue confirmed once previews begin — confirm on the official site.
Content advisory: Recommended ages 14+. Adult themes, queer ballroom-culture aesthetics, brief sexual content. Loud and visually maximalist by design.
