This is the one I'm excited about: A "Cats" revival is coming to Broadway! I never got to see the original run. Definitely going to check it out next time I'm in NYC after it opens.
Apropos Hamilton, at the risk of being contrarian... I realize he's a genius (he did win a MacArthur "genius grant", after all) and the show's absofuckinglutely wonderful, but count me as someone who's all Lin-Manuel Mirandaed out. Lately, he's become "the bear" in my life. That's a reference to a line from a Lewis Black monologue about a TV commercial that went viral:
'And, those of you haven’t seen this commercial are now going to see it all the time. Because that’s how it works. It’s like if somebody comes up to you and tells you there’s a bear shitting everywhere and you say, “W-w-w-well, that’s ridiculous!” And the next day, the bear is following you around.'
It seems that every time I turn on the TV, there's Lin-Manuel Miranda and some news report or entertainment feature about Hamilton. I'm about ready for the hype to end.
That said, if PBS broadcasts the show in its entirety, I'll probably DVR it and watch it after the hype has died down, and I'll probably enjoy it. I'll only say probably, though, because I am a contrarian after all.
