CATS the Musical Pounces into South Africa!

LET THE MEMORY LIVE AGAIN

Experience Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record-breaking musical CATS. 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!

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or experiencing the magic for the first time, this is your chance to see one of the most celebrated musicals of all time. With its unforgettable score, stunning dance sequences, and vibrant storytelling, CATS is poised to be the theatrical event of the season.
