But there's life in the old cats yet, thanks to a new revival, \"Cats: The Jellicle Ball.\" Here's Time Out's review of the latest version, which is reimagined as a ballroom runway show, complete with extravagant costumes and wigs, and a cast whose performers fall on wide spectrums of gender identity and presentation. \"[Co-directors] Levingston and Rauch’s vision fits 'Cats' like a long sequined glove. No chance is missed to tease out potential queer meanings — when the cats sing 'Jellicle cats come out tonight,' some of them carry signs that say 'COME OUT' — and at times, the matches are almost eerily perfect,\" writes Adam Feldman.\n\nhttps://flip.it/9zNRQ-\n\n#Musicals #Theater #Theatre #MusicalTheater #NewYork #CatsTheMusical #Ballroom #QueerCulture #LGBTQ #Pride"}
