THE CATS THAT REFUSED TO DIE

What are we on here – Life No. 687? “Cats,” the show that wouldn’t go away, has extended its run on Broadway to September. Producers had announced earlier this year that the show would close in June. But: “After the Feb. 20 closing announcement, ticket sales for the Andrew Lloyd Webber tuner topped $1.5 million during the first week, rising to a total of $4.7 million over four weeks. The show has performed at an average of 94% capacity since mid-February, selling out twice in the last 10 weeks. Prior to the closing announcement, capacity had occasionally dipped below the 50% benchmark.” – Variety
