The 2021-22 PNC Broadway in Louisville series, which includes "Cats," also features "Come From Away," "Mean Girls," "Hamilton" and "Anastasia." Tickets can be purchased at. And if you're a longtime fan of the show, it's worth attending for your own "memory." If you haven't seen "CATS: The Musical," it truly is a feline curiosity and classic worth the price of a ticket.

Highlights from the score include "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats," "Magical Mister Mistoffelees" and one of the most treasured songs in musical theater, "Memory."īesides Webber's original score, there is all-new lighting design by Natasha Katz (" Aladdin") and all-new sound design by Mick Potter. Blankenbuehler's new choreography is based on the original choreography by Gillian Lynne ("Phantom of the Opera") and direction by Trevor Nunn ("Les Misérables.") Like the cats themselves, the updates add a subtle delight to enhance the iconic production. If you have a cat in your home, you are sure to recognize characteristics of your pet in at least one of the characters.

The theater audience is introduced to specific cats throughout the performance, such as the ultra-masculine Rum Tum Tugger, the ailing Grizabella and the sage Old Deuteronomy.
