There’s a feline takeover of Place des Arts today, through March 13, as Andrew Lloyd Webber’s (in)famous 1980s musical Cats makes yet another comeback. “Let the memory live again” — and erase of the memory of the even more infamous film adaptation. 175 Ste-Catherine W., 8 p.m. nightly, matinees and varying hours on the weekend, $46–$179.25

Cats: The Musical at Place des Arts.

For something completely different, seeing a harrowing period film about abortion on International Women’s Day may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re like our Film Editor Justine Smith, Audrey Diwan’s L’Événement (screening at Cinéma Moderne with English subtitles) might be the perfect choice. Read her 4-star review here. 5150 St-Laurent, 8:30 p.m., $15

Visions Hip-Hop QC by Marven Clerveau is a must-see, must-hear ongoing exhibition at PHI Centre, continuing till March 26.
