Cats (2025)

Once a year, a group of very fancy, very theatrical felines—the Jellicle Cats—gather for the Jellicle Ball (think America’s Got Talent, but with fur). Their wise old leader, Old Deuteronomy, picks one lucky cat to be reborn into a brand-new, fabulous life. Naturally, every cat wants the honor, so they all put on their best show—singing, dancing, and proving why they deserve the top prize.

 

Based on ‘Old Possum’s book of Practical Cats’ by T.S. Eliot

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
