Rousuck's Review: "Cats" at the Hippodrome Theatre

It's Thursday, and theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom with another review of the Maryland stage. This week, Judy spotlights the North American tour of Cats, currently on stage at the Hippodrome Theater in Baltimore. Cats is Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical staging of poet T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. The show opened in London in 1981 and a year later pounced on Broadway, where it ran for a record-breaking eighteen years. The 2016 revival of the Tony Award-winning musical is now on a North American Tour, with original direction by Trevor Nunn and choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler; set and costume designs are by John Napier. The cast features Keri Rene Fuller as Grizabella, Adam Vanek as Alonzo, and Mariah Reives as Cassandra.Cats continues at the Hippodrome through January 26th.
