Show Notes
"Cats" is back in town, but with a makeover. Instead of ballet dancing and cat costumes, "Cats: The Jellicle Ball" features a disco ball, house music, avant-garde costumes, and a whole lot of voguing, dipping and sashaying. Choreographer Omari Wiles and gender consultant and dramaturg Josephine Kearns share how they blended New York's ballroom culture with a Broadway classic. "Cats: The Jellicle Ball" is running now at the Perelman Arts Center through August 11.
