  • "... The Temple Theatre production was set in an old theater, with discarded marquee signs and set pieces placed here and there about the stage. I think the idea worked well, and set designer Steven Harrington did an excellent job of bringing the old theater to life." CVNC (PDF)
Synopsis
Inspired by the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, this musical tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats, at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer. A true musical theater phenomenon, Cats opened at London’s New London Theatre in 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. The London success was nearly matched on Broadway where it ran for just over 18 years. This enchanting musical features the immortal ballad “Memory,” as well as a collection of other whimsical tunes enjoyed by audiences young and old.
