elcome to Bass Performance Hall and our 2021-2022 Performing Arts Fort Worth season. On behalf of the Performing Arts Fort Worth staff and Board of Directors, I thank you for joining us. We are so excited to welcome one of the biggest hits in theatrical history, CATS, in an all-new production to kick off the holiday season. This record-breaking musical spectacular by Andrew Lloyd Webber features new sound design, direction and choreography, but returns with the same breathtaking music, including one of the most treasured songs in musical theater, “Memory.” I hope you enjoy this incredible show. CATS is part of our 2021-2022 Broadway at the Bass season. This landmark Broadway season also includes Dear Evan Hansen, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!, Jesus Christ Superstar and Mean Girls. We’re also thrilled to welcome Hamilton as a season add-on, making its Bass Hall debut after being rescheduled due to the pandemic. With the holidays just around the corner, we are thrilled to welcome Texas holiday favorites old and new as part of our 2021-2022 BNSF Popular Entertainment Series. Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis’ Holiday Shindig returns to the McDavid Studio on December 1. Country music legends The Gatlin Brothers and Crystal Gayle grace our stage for the first time ever in a brand-new holiday special – Holiday & Hits. And Robert Earl Keen’s The Road to Christmas returns this holiday season on December 30. Please sign up for our e-Club at www.basshall.com or follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to be the first to get all the details about this terrific lineup. Finally, thank you to all of our sponsors and donors for their generous contributions and continued support.

From Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1968) to Cinderella (2021) his work has been consistently seen on world stages. Before the covid pandemic hit, Lloyd Webber had
WHO’S WHO shows continually running in the West End for 48 years and on Broadway for 41. When Sunset Boulevard joined School Of Rock, Catsand Phantom of the Opera he equalled Rodgers and Hammerstein’s record of four shows running simultaneously on Broadway. He is one of the select group of artists with EGOT status, having received Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards. Lloyd Webber owns seven London theatres including the iconic London Palladium and Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Over the past three years the latter has been completely restored and renovated at a cost of over £60 million. It is one of the biggest projects ever undertaken by a private theatre owner in recent times. His mantra that every penny of profit made from his theatres is ploughed back into the buildings has meant that considerable work has been undertaken across his theatre portfolio during the pandemic, including the complete re-modelling and re-seating of the Gillian Lynne. Lloyd Webber is passionate about the importance of musical education and diversity in the arts. The Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation provides 30 performing arts scholarships every year for talented students with financial need and supports a range of projects such as the Music In Secondary School Trust and commissioning research into diversity in theatre. Andrew Lloyd Webber was knighted in 1992 and created an honorary life peer in 1997. To mark his 70th birthday, his bestselling autobiography Unmasked was published by Harper Collins in March 2018. THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT (Poet & Lyricist) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 26, 1888. He was educated at Harvard, the Sorbonne in Paris and Merton College, Oxford. He settled in England in 1915 and taught briefly at two schools before joining Lloyds Bank in the city of London. His first volume of poems, Prufrock and Other Observations, was published in 1917. The Waste Land, his most famous work, was first published in 1922. In 1925 he left the bank to become a director of the publishing house of Faber. There have been several individual and collected editions of his poetry, as well as volumes of his literary and social criticism; he also wrote a number of verse plays, including Murder in the Cathedral, which was commissioned for the Canterbury Festival of 1935. T.S. Eliot had a great affection for cats, and “Possum” was his alias among his friends. Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats appeared in October 1939 and was the basis for CATS. He received many honors and distinctions, among them the Order of Merit and the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eliot died in January 1965 and was posthumously awarded the 1983 Tony Award for the book of CATS. TREVOR NUNN (Director). From 1968 to 1986, he was the youngest-ever artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, directing more than 30 productions, from classics to new works including Nicholas Nickleby and Les Misérables. He was later director of the National Theatre, where award-winning productions included Not About Nightingales, Troilus and Cressida, Oklahoma!, The
Merchant of Venice, Summerfolk, My Fair Lady, A Streetcar Named Desire, Anything Goes and Love’s Labour’s Lost. He directed the world premieres of Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia, The Coast of Utopia and Rock ’n’ Roll; and of CATS, Sunset Boulevard, Starlight Express, Aspects of Love and The Woman in White by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Other theatre includes Hamlet, Richard II, Inherit the Wind, Kiss Me Kate (Old Vic); A Little Night Music (West End and Broadway); Heartbreak House, Flare Path, The Tempest (Theatre Royal, Haymarket); All That Fall (59E59); The Wars of the Roses (Rose Theatre); Pericles (TFANA).
