Musical Theater Heritage Brings “Cats” Up to Scratch in New Production

You can detect a tone of defiant pride when Tim Scott tells you he has never seen “Cats.” “Not once,” he said. “And I think that’s why I’m perfectly suited to direct it.” That Scott somehow made it this far in life without actually sitting through Andrew Lloyd Webber’s show (that at one time held the record for the longest-running musical in both London and New York), might strike you as odd.

Helzberg Hall has changed everything. When the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts opened in 2011, it didn’t take long for word to spread that Kansas City has one of the most acoustically superb performance venues in the United States.

Next season, the Series will present more great orchestras and conductors than ever before.
