While the music stays true to the original score, gone is the traditional dark and gloomy alleyway set of previous productions, and in its place is colour, vibrancy and energy.

On just one special night of the year, all Jellicle cats meet at the Jellicle Ball where Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, makes the Jellicle choice and announces which of them will go up to The Heaviside

Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.

The stage show follows Grizabella, Gus the Theatre Cat, the Rum Tum Tugger and many more quirky characters from TS Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats in a magical musical loved by all ages.
