BWW Review: Legendary Broadway Musical CATS Enchants Audiences at the Norris Theatre

Due to the size of the production and the incredible cast requirement for dozens of triple-threat actors and actresses who can handle the operatic score and dancing from tap to jazz to ballet, "CATS" is a treat to behold for audiences of all ages whenever a production comes to town.
