Description

Since Cats first opened on the West End stage in 1981, it has become one of the world's best known and best loved musicals. With a plot based on T.S Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and award-winning music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber; Cats, originally directed by Trevor Nunn, has since been presented in over 20 countries and in about 250 cities, including such diverse destinations as Buenos Aires , Seoul , Helsinki and Singapore.

"Cats" takes place in an oversized junkyard at night. The actors and actresses wear unitards, tails, wigs, and thick makeup as their cat costumes. This musical is almost plotless, and consists of cats introducing fellow cats to the audience. All cats are called "Jellicles". The Jellicle Ball takes place once a year, and is a special night where all Jellicle cats get together in the junkyard and follow their urge to dance under the full moon. The antagonist of the show is Mcavity, a criminal (yet mysteriously irresistible) feline. At the end of the Ball, Old Deuteronomy, the leader of the cats, takes a selected cat to the Heaviside Layer (a sort of "cat-heaven").
