Introduction

Open the door to the auditorium and enter the world of CATS

For more than 30 years since its premiere, CATS has continued its astounding long run, attracting audiences of all generations.
The appeal of the show lies in its originality that goes beyond the scope of image that the word ‘musical’ conjures up in people’s minds.

The moment you open the door from the foyer, you are welcomed into the world of CATS.
The audience seats merge with the stage to form a vast urban junkyard.
As soon as you step inside, you will feel as though you have shrunk to the size of a cat, and before you know it you too will be a resident in the world of CATS.

Countless cat eyes shine in the dark – then the powerful performance begins.
A jet coaster of a ride will leave you breathless...
Tonight is the night of the annual ball. What does each of the 24 cats say about their lives? Which one of them will be chosen to be reborn as a new Jellicle Cat in heaven?

“No matter how many times I see it, I always discover something new.”
The world of CATS continues to mesmerize everyone who sees it. Please do come to the theatre and experience it for yourself.

Story

A junkyard on a street corner, under the pale light of a full moon –
Many Jellicle Cats come together to take part in the annual Jellicle Ball.

Jellicle Cats are energetic, infinitely individual, and possess resilient thinking. They celebrate their own lives, weather adversity, and stubbornly survive, refusing to be tamed by humans.

And tonight is the night of the special Ball, where an old Cat will choose the purest Jellicle Cat of them all. Who will be allowed to be reborn into a new Jellicle life?
The cats sing and dance all night long.

By and by, dawn approaches, and as tension fills the air, the name of the one cat who will be allowed to ascend to heaven and live a new life is announced.

Who will it be…?
