Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical CATS is back on Broadway in the bold and unapologetically queer reimagining CATS: The Jellicle Ball. Sydney James Harcourt (original Broadway cast of Hamilton) stars as the swoonworthy and mercurial Rum Tum Tugger.
Queerty’s John Halbach talked to the triple threat about how he discovered the world of ballroom, his early stage career, working with the legendary Andre DeSheilds, getting praise from Betty Buckley, and the current importance of queer joy, in the face of so much adversity.
This interview was filmed before it was announced that CATS: The Jellicle Ball will play their final performance on Broadway, Saturday August 8th. There’s still time to see the show. Don’t miss out!
