Performers in the musical, Cats, on stage together in cat costumes.
21 Dec – 18 Jan

Cats the Musical

  • Theatre
  • Music

Experience the 40th Australian anniversary of Andrew Lloyd Webber's record-breaking musical Cats, showing for a limited time.

Adapted from TS Eliot's 'Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats', this groundbreaking musical comes together in a sparkling fusion of music, dance and verse.

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.

With timeless music, spectacular sets and a superb cast, breathtaking choreography and of course the unforgettable song, Memory, Cats is a magical musical like no other.

Let Cats thrill you once again.
