Set in a larger-than-life junkyard playground, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s beloved musical CATS brings a colorful cast of unforgettable felines to life, including Rum Tum Tugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Skimbleshanks, and Grizabella.
On one special night each year, the Jellicle Cats gather for the Jellicle Ball, where they share their unique stories for their wise leader, Old Deuteronomy. One cat will be chosen to ascend to the Heaviside Layer and begin a whole new Jellicle life. Filled with memorable music, dynamic choreography, and captivating characters, CATS celebrates individuality, community, and the power of second chances.
