OF AMERICA’S FAVORITE FAMILY
MUSICAL
Sunday, April

2007
Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre,
Victoria
Show: 1:00pm & 7:00pm
CATS - the show that
revolutionized musical theatre -
is celebrating its 25th
Anniversary here in Victoria for
one performance in April.
Andrew Lloyd Webber, the master
of musical theater, is
celebrating 25 years of the
wonder of CATS! Before
Phantom of the Opera, CATS
exploded onto the stage as the
first megamusical. On May 11,
1981, CATS opened at the
New London Theatre in the West
End, becoming the longest
running musical in the history
of British theater. In 1982
CATS opened at the Winter
Garden Theatre in New York City,
becoming the longest running
musical in Broadway history in
1997. CATS ended its 18
year run on September 10, 2000.
Who says cats only have nine
lives?
In October of 1991 CATS
became the longest continuously
touring show in American theatre
history. Five continents, 26
countries, over eight and a half
million audience members and 25
years later … CATS is
still America’s most love family
musical. Celebrating not only 25
years but the birth of the
musical spectacular, CATS
is still revolutionary and awe
inspiring.
Based on T.S. Eliot’s Old
Possum’s Book of Practical Cats,
and with music by Andrew Lloyd
Webber, CATS won seven
Tony Awards, including Best
Musical, Best Book of a Musical,
Best Lighting and Best Costumes.
Now that it was been seen by
millions of audience members
worldwide, it is time to
celebrate with the whole family
the magic, the mystery, the
wonder of CATS.
