While some may scoff at Andrew Lloyd Webber’s feline fantasia, his setting of T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Catskept the concept musical alive and well for 18 years!

No one writes a showtune like Jerry Herman and La Cage is full of ‘em— lilting ballads, inspiring anthems, toe-tapping ditties— La Cage has it all, including a witty book by Harvey Fierstein.
