Continuing its tradition of award winning musical extravaganzas, Willow Tree present an energised rendering of this world famous show!

CATS was first adapted from TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and brought to the stage by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

It first appeared back in 1981 and played a total 8,949 performances. It has since been performed in over 20 countries and thought to have earned over £1 billion at the box office.

It is story of one night at the Jellicle Ball when a clan of cats gather at the old rubbish dump. Old Deuteronomy, the clan elder, must choose the most deserving cat to hold the honour of being reborn into a new life on the Heaviside Layer.

The cats are introduced one by one, offering insights into their personalities until the stage is filled with marvellous moggies of all shapes and sizes. Here we find Rum Tum Tugger, the pop idol cat, and the mischievous pussies Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. We graciously greet the return of Grizabella, but lower your voice if you ever mention Macavity, the feline of depravity.

Cats the Musical is a fantastical furry journey, a delightful celebration of long tales and bushy whiskers.
