Check out The Terrific Cats The Musical In Sydney
It is one of the longest-running musicals on Broadway and London's West End, and is at the moment travelling across Asia and putting on more than 400 performances in 20 venues spanning Taiwan, China, Thailand and Korea. Cats will also be traveling to Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth before starting in Sydney.
The award-winning musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and additional poems by T. S. Eliot. The show has been performed around the globe in many productions and has been translated into more than 20 languages. It gained seven 1983 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Lighting and Best Costumes.'Cats' was the first of the mega-musicals and ran for 18 years on Broadway and kept the title of the longest running show in Broadway history until early 2006, when Andrew Lloyd Webber's own 'The Phantom of the Opera' exceeded 'Cats'' record. For over ten years, 'Cats' has remained the longest running, continuously touring show in North America and has also been shown in 26 countries on five continents.
Cats The Musical opened up at the New London Theatre in the West End on May 11, 1981. Eight years later the show celebrated its first significant milestone: after 3, 358 performances CATS had become the longest running musical in the history of British theatre. It played its last performance on its 21st birthday, May 11, 2002.
It opened on Broadway October 7, 1982 at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City and carried on to live up to its motto "Now and Forever." On June 19, 1997, CATS became the longest running musical on Broadway. It ended its 18 year run on September 10, 2000.
The musical tells the story of a group of London felines, known as Jellicle cats. Once a year, they meet to celebrate as their elderly leader, Old Deuteronomy selects one of them to go to the Heavyside Layer, after which they are reborn as a new, young Jellicle. The most deserving is the elderly Grizabella, who was a revered beauty in her youth, but is now rejected by the majority of the Jellicles. Meanwhile, they also face the terror set upon them by the evil Macavity. In between, audience members meet a variety of entertaining Jellicles, such as a kitten with magical powers, a pair of acrobatic thieves, and an Elvis-like rock star of a cat..
