Perth, Burswood Theatre from Tuesday 13 April
Sydney, Lyric Theatre Tuesday 18 May
Boasting a cast and crew of 53 including a live band, Cats will return triumphantly in an entrancing production that reconnects 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 theygather 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.
It has been 15 years since Cats wowed audiences here, and following sell out shows across Asia since 2006, Cats is returning home. Cats is presented in Australia by Lunchbox Theatrical Productions and David Atkins Enterprises in association with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Really Useful Group.
Lunchbox Theatrical Productions and David Atkins Enterprises have been responsible for numerous outstanding productions over the years including Miss Saigon, Singin’ In The Rain, The Phantom of the Opera (Singapore 2007 season, in association with The Really Useful Group), Stomp, Swan Lake On Ice, We Will Rock You and Abba Mania, to name but a few. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Really Useful Group is one of the world’s most recognized international entertainment companies, responsible for producing, co-producing, licensing and managing major theatrical production worldwide.
