"Cats" at the Saenger

T.S. Eliot meets a furry Rebel Wilson biting the heads off of human-faced cockroaches in the historic legacy of this enduring musical—which originally gained fame via Broadway, where this editor will vehemently argue it is a work of art. From the magic of Mister Mistoffelees to the twirling mischief of Bombalurina to the big-hearted tearjerkers of Grizabella the Glamour Cat. Resisting the urge to write a thesis on it, I'll only firmly urge you to buy tickets to this Broadway production in New Orleans, so that you can see it for yourself. Performances at 7:30 pm Tuesday–Thursday; 8 pm Friday; 2 pm and 8 pm Saturday; 1 pm and 6:30 pm Sunday. Tickets start at $65. saengernola.com.
