Cats @ Venetian Macao – 6-15 March, 2015

Cats, which first opened in London in 1981, features a musical score composed by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber (The Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Starlight Express) that includes the timeless hit song Memory.

Based on the book of poems Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats (1939) by T.S. Eliot, Cats tells the imaginative tale of a tribe of Jellicle cats as they gather together for the annual Jellicle Ball, and one by one tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, who must choose one of the cats to journey to the Heaviside Layer to be reborn into a new life.
