Thank goodness cats have nine lives, because the iconic Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats is still kicking it 41 years after it first premiered in London’s West End. The current national tour, which is currently playing in Vancouver, is a re-creation of the 2016 Broadway revival—the second major version in North America. This production maintains the authenticity of the original London/Broadway production, with exciting freshness thanks to the young, talented cast members, many of whom probably were not born yet when the original Broadway production closed in 2000.

Australian acrobatic/dance company Circa has heated up our frosty Vancouver winter with its production of Sacre. This is an extraordinary work that showcases the company’s innovative hybrid of circus and contemporary dance. The touring show’s run at the Vancouver Playhouse, co-presented by The Cultch and DanceHouse, is a great fit for all companies involved. Sacre is dark, sexy, innovative, ingenious, and absolutely captivating.
