NY TT CATS Key Art with NYT Critics Pick

When *Cats: The Jellicle Ball* premiered off Broadway, it was met with resounding rave reviews that praised the revival's fresh interpretation: turning the competition of singing, dancing cats into a ballroom celebration, where queer performers vogue and pose to win rebirth into a new life. The revival is inspired by the world of ball culture born in 20th-century NYC and still thriving today, offering LGBTQ+ communities a safe space to express themselves as they compete in fashion, dance, and performance categories on behalf of "houses."

It is a major makeover for *Cats*, which became a cultural icon and one of Broadway's longest-running shows when the original production premiered in 1982. Now, it is back in New York in a thrilling revival that The New York Times called "exhilarating, fanciful, and fabulous," and Time Out New York called "the musical of the season" in a five-star review.

*The Jellicle Ball* has an A-list team: it is directed by Obie Award winners Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch, with choreography by Obie Award winners and New York City ballroom legends Omari Wiles (House of Ricci) and Arturo Lyons (House of Miyake-Mugler).

## What to watch for

- Off Broadway, the ensemble won an Obie Award for their work on this show.
- Andrew Lloyd Webber has been enjoying multiple flashy revivals that reinvent his work, as with last season's *Sunset Blvd.* or London's *Evita.*
- *Cats* was last revived on Broadway a decade ago, for the first time, with Leona Lewis starring.
- Many of the performers in this production come from the ballroom world, bringing that entertainment and performance element with them into this interpretation of the musical.

*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).

Starting 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.

CATS: The Jellicle Ball Broadway Tickets | The Official NY Theatre Guide

*CATS: The Jellicle Ball* is a revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic musical, set in the exciting nightlife ballroom scene.

André De Shields stars as Old Deuteronomy in [*Cats: The Jellicle Ball*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/39754-cats) on Broadway at the [Broadhurst Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/venues/broadhurst-theatre) from March 18, 2026.

André Robin De Shields was born January 12, 1946 in Dundalk, Maryland, a community within Baltimore. He is an award-winning actor, singer, choreographer, director, and dancer who has been active in his performance career since the 1960s, but he did not study the discipline in college — he holds a B.A. in English literature from the University of Wisconsin and an M.A. in African American studies from New York University, where he now serves as an adjunct professor.&nbsp;He did, however, star in a production of Lorraine Hansberry's&nbsp;A Raisin in the Sun&nbsp;while at Ohio's Wilmington College, which he attended before transferring to Wisconsin. A few years later, he would make his professional debut in a 1969 Chicago production of&nbsp;Hair.

De Shields has numerous other regional credits to his name and three Jeff Awards for that work, but his most prolific appearances&nbsp;have&nbsp;been on the New York stage, where he has built a long and celebrated career since the&nbsp;1970s. From then until the 1990s, he appeared in multiple productions at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club on Manhattan's Lower East Side, including Ken Rubenstein's Sacred Guard, Lamar Alford's Thoughts, and the&nbsp;Cotton Club Gala. He also directed two shows there:&nbsp;Chico Kasinoir's The Adventures of Rhubarb: The Rock and Roll Rabbit in 1985 and Saint Tous, which De Shields wrote himself.&nbsp;

Between La MaMa shows, De Shields also made his Broadway debut in the 1970s. His performance debut was as&nbsp;Xander in Stuart Gordon's 1973 science fiction play&nbsp;Warp!, and he made his choreography debut later that year on a Bette Midler revue, followed by a second one in 1975. His other notable Broadway roles include the titular role in&nbsp;The Wiz&nbsp;in 1975, a performer in the 1978 musical revue&nbsp;Ain't Misbehavin'&nbsp;and its 1988 revival, the Jester in the Duke Ellington musical Play On!, and the original&nbsp;Noah "Horse" T. Simmons in&nbsp;The Full Monty, Terrence McNally and David Yazbek's musical adaptation of the same-named film. His&nbsp;Play On!&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Full Monty&nbsp;performances each earned him a Tony Award nomination and a Drama Desk nomination. Most recently, he won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of Hermes in&nbsp;[Hadestown](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/hadestown-tickets), a role he still holds. His was one of eight Tony Awards the production won at the 2019 ceremony.

De Shields is also a veteran screen actor, having won an Emmy Award for&nbsp;the 1982 broadcast of Ain't Misbehavin' .&nbsp;Most recently, in another theater-film hybrid, he&nbsp;appeared as Anton Ego in a benefit concert performance of&nbsp;Ratatouille The Musical, streamed on TodayTix in January 2021.&nbsp;De Shields&nbsp;has also held roles on television shows including&nbsp;Cosby, Sex and the City, Law &amp; Order,&nbsp;Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit, and Katy Keene, and he was&nbsp;a musical guest on John Mulaney's 2019 Netflix comedy special The Sack Lunch Bunch.&nbsp;

The Broadhurst Theatre is a prestigious, century-old Broadway venue located in Midtown Manhattan, New York. It was named after the renowned playwright George H. Broadhurst, an Anglo-American who was originally from Bristol, England. Constructed by the Shubert Brothers and designed by the architectural firm Kirchoff & Rose, Broadhurst Theatre opened its doors to the public on September 27, 1917, with its first-ever staged play, George Bernard Shaw’s 'Misalliance'. Spanning over a wide space of 20,000 square feet, it can comfortably seat slightly over 1,100 spectators on two levels. With its decorative ceilings, excellent acoustics, central location, and intimate seating arrangement, the Broadhurst Theatre has been attracting Broadway artists and audience for over 100 years. 
 
##How to get to the venue
The Broadhurst Theatre is centrally located at 235 West 44th Street, and this strategic location makes it easily accessible from all parts of the city. If you're using public transportation, Times Square's 42nd Street subway station is the closest, served by various train lines such as the 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, S. Also, multiple buses serve 44th Street, including the M20 and M104 lines. Hence, reaching the Broadhurst Theatre isn't difficult regardless of where you are starting your journey.

Broadhurst Theatre - TodayTix

The Broadhurst Theatre was designed by Herbert J. Krapp and named after the playwright/producer George Howells Broadhurst, who oversaw the building of the theatre in partnership with the Shubert family.

The venue officially opened on September 27, 1917 with the New York premiere of George Bernard Shaw's *Misalliance*. Multiple of Broadhurst's own plays also went up there between 1917 and 1924.

The theatre is a designated New York City landmark. Its architectural style mirrors that of the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, which was also designed by Krapp and built at the same time.
