- At the 29th Annual Gypsy of the Year Competition, the cast of Cats gave the adored musical a supernatural twist in “Cats Now and Forever,” in which the cats live far beyond their nine lives as feline zombies. Seamlessly melding the music and choreography from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” with iconic melodies from the musical, the cats left a lasting “Memory” before the show closes later this month.
The indomitable and generous spirit of the theatre community - those onstage, backstage and in the audience - shined brightly as the 29th annual Gypsy of the Year competition celebrated six weeks of fundraising work of 56 Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring companies for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Gypsy of the Year (#GypsyOfTheYear), which was held December 4 and 5, 2017, raised a record-breaking $5,609,211 for Broadway Cares.

"THOSE ARE ZOMBIE CATS."
so i only saw like 2 seconds of this in the broadway vlog and how dARE THEY NOT PUT THIS WHOLE THING IN
MANDY PATINKIN OH MI GOD
I love Cats. Saw the original version three times from three different positions in the audience. And I have the soundtrack to the Broadway version, the Australian version -- and, for some reason, the Japanese version.
And if anyone thinks Cats is kind of ... weird, imagine hearing "Bustopher Jones" (the most "British" of the poems) in Japanese. It's fun to listen to, but, well ... weird....
Don't diss my favorite song... 😿
Love this!! I'm gonna miss the revival so much!
Michael Jackson would be proud
I love cats musical ❤🥰😥
@ 4:25 closed caption "For no mere mortal can resist, what unemployed Cats deliver." ??
Okay, when is the opening night of this Michael Jackson musical?
A question: what will the cast do after the world tour? I would love to see the musical. It closed only a few months before I got to know it....
That was great
Zombie Cats! :D

"Cats is serious theatre" ... Fast forward to 2018, and Taylor Swift has been cast for the Cats movie
No I don’t like the snow but I will thank you yes

I'm disappointed in how little they look like cats.
