A queer ballroom version of Cats is in the making and the gays can't cope
Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber is going to be reimagined by the Ronald Perelman Performing Arts Centre in a ballroom scene inspired workshop.
The news has caused some queer Twitter users to unashamedly lose their minds.The new performing art centre based in New York announced that they are holding a workshop for a version of the musical Cats inspired by the ballroom scene.
The workshop could then lead to a full production, depending on how it is developed and received.According to the audition listing they put out for the workshops, the performers will not play literal cats, but people living in New York City who are members of the ballroom scene.
In this version, Old Deuteronomy will become a drag queen, Grizabella is reimagined as a Trans woman and singer and Mistoffelees will be a non-binary runway competitor.The workshop will be directed by Bill Rauch, and Omari Wiles will take care of choreography.
