Weekend Picks: 'Cats,' Martha Graham and 'Magic Flute' inspired by video games

Los Angeles Times 

The Oscars are over, so your weekend should be wide open to check out the return of "Cats" to L.A., a revival of Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie," and two very different takes on two very different Mozart works, courtesy of Los Angeles Opera and Pacific Opera Project. Composer Meredith Monk presents a new vocal work, two L.A. Times Critics' Choice dramas give their final performances, and Los Angeles Ballet, Trinity Irish Dance and Martha Graham Dance Company all perform. If you know those lines, you know "Cats." Based on poems by T.S. Eliot, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tony-winning musical is back with new choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler ("Hamilton"). The law of un-Nintendo'd consequences will be in full effect as Pacific Opera Project opens its season with "The Magic Flute."
