CATS
Opening Tomorrow at the Palace
Theatre!
December 12-17
Based on T.S.
Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats", and with music
by Andrew Lloyd Webber, CATS won seven 1983 Tony Awards and became the
longest running Broadway musical in 1997.
Now that it has been seen by over
8,250,000 audience members, it is time to introduce CATS to a new
generation. Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement. Suddenly an
explosion of music and lights reveals a larger than life junkyard.
Probing car lights tear across the darkened landscape of bottles and
boxes, briefly catching the darting image of a running feline. Tonight
is the one special night each year when the tribe of Jellicle Cats
reunites to celebrate who they are. This is the story of CATS.

CATS on a budget
Are you dying
to see CATS, but your holiday shopping has minimized
your entertainment budget? DON'T WORRY! There are plenty of deals to be
had when purchasing tickets to CATS. Take a look at two of our
favorites:
1/2 PRICE
STUDENT RUSH TICKETS
Student Rush Tickets are available for
all performances of CATS. Just bring your valid student I.D. to the
Palace Theatre box office 2 hours prior to the performance you wish to
attend, and a box office agent will show you what seats are available
for purchase. But remember, Student Rush Tickets can only be purchased
with cash, and you must have your student I.D. with you!

Ticket broker websites and the reselling of event tickets online are major
concerns for us here at Broadway Across America. Many fraudulent
companies are setting up shop on the internet making it very easy for you, our
valued guests, to find alternative online sources to purchase your theatre
tickets. Unfortunately, you could wind up paying a premium for bogus
tickets and we would have little recourse in being able to help.
Don’t take chances by purchasing theatre tickets from just any website. Make
your first click BroadwayAcrossAmerica.com to reach authorized online ticket
sellers for all Broadway Across America events. |
