CATS announces one week extension

About Cats

Andrew Lloyd Webber's timeless classic is based on T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. It follows a tribe of cats called the Jellicle Cats, who come together for a once-a-year event where their leader, Old Deuteronomy, will announce the cat who can now be reborn and come back in a different life. Full of colour, spectacle, and song, Cats introduces you to a dizzying array of eccentric, charming, and unique feline characters in an utterly one-of-a-kind adventure.

Cats was one of the longest running shows on Broadway and in the West End. It has dazzling soundtrack, featuring some of the most memorable songs in musical history, including 'Old Deuteronomy', 'Macavity: The Mystery Cat', 'Jellicle Ball' and the chart-topping hit 'Memory'.
