☆ ‘Cats’ Returns, Ditching the Junkyard for Queer Ballroom
  + stars: | 2024-06-18 | by ( Joshua Barone | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
At the end of May, the Perelman Arts Center posted a clip on social media of “Jellicle Cats,” the catchy, effervescent opening number from the musical “Cats.” It showed a group of queer performers catwalking in a rehearsal room before breaking apart to freely dance and vogue. One singer wore a cap winkingly topped with feline ears; another stared down the camera and twirled her ponytail with declarative swagger. This was the first real glimpse of a new, ballroom-inspired revival of “Cats,” running through July 28 at PAC NYC, as the Perelman Center in Manhattan is known. Since it was announced nearly a year earlier, the show had been a subject of skepticism and mocking humor: “Cats” was ridiculous enough, but ballroom? Then the “Jellicle Cats” clip went viral, and jaws dropped.

☆ Perelman Arts Center Opens in New York and Welcomes the World

When the center was being built, Mr. O’Farrill was part of an advisory committee of artists; he urged the center to pay close attention to acoustics. He’s a very thoughtful man, and he’s looking to expand the conversation on what performing arts is, what elitism does to the arts. Maybe you make it by bringing music that’s just so incredible that everybody wants to get on the subway and go down there. For a performing arts center to support that speaks straight to my heart. And we have the place called the Perelman Center right next to ground zero that is open to the whole world.
