MRS. SMITH'S BROADWAY CAT-TACULAR! (47th St Theater, 304 West 47th Street, New York, NY, 10036)(8pm - 10pm)
Everyone’s favorite cat lady has got her claws out when it comes to describing her extensive showbiz history during this story and song-filled musical comedy extravaganza! MRS. SMITH is a woman on the verge of a cat-based breakdown — in search of her missing cat, Carlyle. To overcome the grief and rage of this “personal apocalypse,” she’s tried psychoanalysis, New Age therapies and, now, mounting a Broadway-style musical spectacular where her bizarre life story is re-enacted in delirious song and dance. With the aid of her dapper Broadway Boys, Mrs. Smith puts her laugh-out-loud spin on the perilous highs and lows of fame, fortune and superstardom. Featuring classic Broadway hits like “Cabaret”, “One Night in Bangkok,” “The Cat That Got Away” and many more, this CAT-TACULAR is a deftly executed character comedy with tap dancing, puppetry and virtuosic electric guitar — that leaves audiences laughing through tears. See the show critics are hailing as “A DEMENTED CABARET ON ACID!” (CityPages), and “OFF ITS MEDS!” (Boston Globe). ($79+) Event Website
