About the show
From Euston station to Victoria Grove, the strays and rebels of London gather under the Jellicle moon in the hope they’ll be the chosen one. And each of them asks, because each of them dares, who will it be?
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical first played to audiences on the West End in 1981 and on Broadway in 1982. The West End production ran until May 2002, after 8,949 performances.
The production has been performed across the world on international tours and productions at theatres in Japan, South Africa and Australia. Cats returned to the West End in 2015 for a limited run, playing the London Palladium from October 2015 to January 2016.
