This musical tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles who come together once a year under the Jellicle moon to pick which cat amongst them will ascend to the Heaviside layer and be reborn into a new life.
“The Broward Center For The Performing Arts is one of America’s premier performing arts venues, consistently ranked among the top ten in the country,” states a press release.
