This edition: Cats: The Jellicle Ball - Reimagining a Classic
TweetEpisode Details
Original tape date: April 23, 2026. First aired: May 8, 2026.Cats has been radically reimagined in the world of Harlem's queer ballroom culture, and the result is a Broadway lightning strike. Patrick Pacheco talks with co-directors Bill Rauch and Zhailon Levingston about earning Andrew Lloyd Webber's blessing, navigating gender and the score, and what it means to make a third thing that is neither Cats nor a ball. Then cast members André De Shields, Tempress Chasity Moore, and James L. Goode discuss playing themselves, the houses that raised them, and why this production meets the moment.
