“Jellicle Cats come out to-night Jellicle Cats come one come all
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball!”
4th and Final Week On Sale 3 May
Must close 13 June
CATS, the most recognised and adored musical the world has ever known has just finished highly successful seasons in Adelaide and Melbourne and is currently playing to packed houses in Perth. It has been 15 years since CATS wowed audiences here and now it’s Sydney’s turn with CATS opening on 16 May and now extended to Sunday 13 June. No further extension is possible as the phenomenon that is CATS then heads back to Asia.
Featuring a magnificent musical score composed by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber, including the poignant hit song “Memory”, a fantastical set, inspired choreography and mischievous costumes, CATS is a brilliant song and dance spectacular not to be missed.
Seen by over 65 million people world-wide, CATS first opened in London in May 1981 to rave reviews and went on to win a record-breaking number of awards internationally including two Olivier Awards for ‘Musical of the Year’ and ‘Outstanding Achievement of the Year in Musicals’, and seven Tony Awards. It holds the record for one of the longest-running musicals in West End history playing for 21 years. In addition CATS played 18 years on Broadway and has been presented in over twenty-six countries, in about three hundred cities, in ten languages.
Boasting a cast and crew of 53 including a live band, CATS reunites us with our favourite characters – Rum Tum Tugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Grizabella and Skimbleshanks. Based on the book of poems “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” (1939) by T.S. Eliot, CATS tells the imaginative tale of a tribe of Jellicle Cats as they gather together for the annual Jellicle Ball, and one by one tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, who must choose one of the Cats to journey to the Heavyside Layer to be ‘reborn’ into a new life.
