The seven-time Tony Award winning CATS has pounced onto the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage for a run through Nov. 22. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s playful production is one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history, having been presented in over 30 countries, translated into 16 languages, and seen by more than 73 million people worldwide.
CATS brings audiences into the poetry of T.S. Eliot, whose “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” inspired the musical about frolicking felines gathering for the Jellicle Ball. One by one, they introduce themselves in the hopes of being selected by their leader, Old Deuteronomy, to be reborn into a new life with a journey to the Heavyside Layer.
Featuring spectacular dancing, tumbling and acrobatics, amazing makeup, and colorful costumes, CATS is an unforgettable and immersive experience in the intimate atmosphere of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.
