Cats

Cats

Adapted from TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, this wonderful blend of fantasy, drama and romance is set on the night that the Jellicle Cats meet for the Jellicle Ball in a sparkling fusion of music, dance and verse.

With an amazing musical score that includes the timeless Memory, spectacular set designs, stunning costumes and breathtaking choreography, CATS is a magical musical like no other.

One of the longest-running shows in West End and Broadway history, CATS has enchanted audiences in over 300 cities around the world – now you too have the chance to experience this legendary musical phenomenon.


The critical consensus

The West End premiere in 1981 was reviewed as “a performance extravaganza and radical departure from anything in musical theatre.” Unfortunately, this UK touring production does not offer such an exciting, magical experience.

A show that's lost what little purpose it once had.

**(*)(*)(*)Mark Fisher, The Scotsman, 08/07/2016

Cats has a reputation as musical Marmite. Whilst it is most certainly not to everyone’s taste, this touring production is solid and charming in its own way. It will certainly make you look at your feline friends in a very different light.
