THEATER: Actors Cabaret


Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Based on "Old Possum's Book Of Practical Cats" By T.S. Eliot
Directed by Joe Zingo


Based on the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, CATS tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer. A true musical theatre phenomenon, CATS opened at London's New London Theatre on May 11, 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. CATS's London success was nearly matched on Broadway where it ran at the Wintergarden Theatre for just over 18 years. "A triumphant piece of musical theater" Derek Jewell, Sunday Times "It's a musical that transports the audience into a complete fantasy world that could only exist in the theater and yet rarely does. CATS believes in purely theatrical magic, and on that faith it unquestionably delivers." Frank Rich, The New York Times, 1982 "More than a hit... a genuine theatrical landmark. The show keeps rejuvenating itself." Elyse Sommer, CurtainU.
