CATS the Musical at Sands Theatre

The Jellicle Moon is shining bright.

Since its world premiere, CATS has been presented in over 54 countries, translated into 23 languages and seen by more than 77 million people worldwide. Adapted from T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, one of the biggest hits in theatrical history comes together in a sparkling fusion of music, dance, and verse.

CATS, one of the longest-running shows in West End and Broadway history, received its world premiere at the New London Theatre in 1981, where it played for a record-breaking 21 years and nearly 9,000 performances. The ground-breaking production was the winner of the Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Musical, and Broadway cast recording won a Grammy Award for Best Cast Album. The 1983 Broadway production became the recipient of 7 Tony awards including Best Musical and ran for 18 years.

The musical features a magnificent score composed by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber including the timeless hit song “Memory”. The original creative team include design by John Napier, choreography by Gillian Lynne, and direction by Trevor Nunn.

CATS is, quite simply, a phenomenon. With its fantastical oversized set, superb score, inspired choreography, and mischievous costumes, it is a dazzling song-and-dance spectacular not to be missed.
