Our ABC adults are taking on the 2nd longest running musical of all time: Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats! Come to the Jellicle Ball! Cats Performed November 8-18, 2024 on the Main Stage and was directed and choreographed by Toni Butler accompanied by a live orchestra under the direction of Michelle Willis.
Director’s Note:
“Well, here we are! You came, perhaps out of curiosity or a deep-seated love for cats—whatever your reason, welcome! The more I immersed myself in the world of Cats, the more respect I developed for this musical, which proudly stands as the second longest-running musical on Broadway (Phantom of the Opera is the longest!). TS Elliott’s whimsical poetry about resilience, redemption, and the beauty of second chances beautifully intertwined with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s enchanting music is just stunning! Like all great poetry, there are profound lessons waiting for you to uncover, if you’re willing to look closely. I certainly found mine, often moved to tears by the magic of Cats. I would like to dedicate this production to all those seeking a second wind in life or in the Heavyside Layer; especially to my sisters, Natalie and Jodee, who are tired and brave and beautiful. It was an absolute joy to bring every facet of this production to life. I sincerely hope you enjoy it just as much, under the gentle glow of the Jellicle moon!
~Toni Butler”
