Cats – Musical

Cats
PLAYING FROM 17 JUNE

LET THE MEMORY LIVE AGAIN

Experience the 40th Australian Anniversary of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record-breaking musical CATS, returning to Theatre Royal Sydney from June.

Adapted from TS Eliot’s ‘Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats’, this “groundbreaking musical” (Daily Express) comes together in a sparkling fusion of music, dance and verse.

On just one special night of the year, all Jellicle cats meet at the Jellicle Ball where Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, makes the Jellicle choice and announces which of them will go up to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.

With “timeless music, spectacular sets and a superb cast” (Daily Mirror), breathtaking choreography and of course the unforgettable ‘Memory’, CATS is a magical musical like no other.

Let CATS thrill you once again!
