Y'all RUN see @catsjellicleball before its last performance at the Broadhurst Theatre on August 8, 2026.

Thank you to the outstanding cast and crew for giving us such a joyful, beautiful celebration of LGBTQ+ Black Ballroom culture on Broadway. Special shout out to legendary theater actor André De Shields and ballroom icon Junior LaBeija!

I was so surprised to learn that this fun, fabulous Ballroom-Meets-Broadway reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber's long-running musical "Cats" would close so soon despite winning rave reviews, three @thetonyawards and an extended run through February 2027. I've read a lot of opinions and speculations about why "Cats: The Jellicle Ball is ending, and I'm sharing thoughts from Broadway strategist/marketer @itskatharinequinn
