Isn't anything sacred anymore? Would you have your local theatre group do a performance of Cats (original or reimagined) on
top of your local cemetery? No...I can safely say.
So I have a bone to pick, not with the play or this version but with the fact it is being done on Ground Zero. Doesn't
anyone see how this type of play is an insult to those who died on 9/11 at Ground Zero? Near the Perlman Center there is the
9/11 museum which houses the remains of people who died on that day. So now we have "Cats" literally dancing on
their remains! I want to assure you my outrage is not that this is ballroom, or LGBTQ just that I find it horrendous that
we must have this play performed on "sacred ground". Of the thousands of plays that the Perlman Center could have
chosen for their opening ones...why this one?
