Drat the Cat (Repro)

Milton Schafer and Ira Levin’s 'Drat! The Cat!' completed a celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Martin Beck Theatre in 1965, running for an accomplished commercial residency and generating a massive commercial cult hit following among musical theater historians. Conceived as a hyper-kinetic, blisteringly funny musical comedy farce pastiche masterclass, the frantic plot parodies late-century Victorian melodrama conventions to follow an insecure young Victorian patrol cop chasing a glamorous female cat burglar thief.
