CATS
February 04 - August 04

Storyline: Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer of Jesus Christ Superstar, The Phantom of the Opera and a dozen other amazingly successful scores decided he could make a musical of the poems that T. S. Eliot published under the title "Old Posssum's Book of Practical Cats." The thinnest of storylines simply has a "tribe" of cats gather for their annual ball in a junk-filled yard. The highlight of the ball every year is the selection by their elderly leader of one of their own to be honored with a chance to go on to another of a cat's nine lives. Many of the cats sing or dance numbers designed to attract the attention of the elderly leader but he selects the one who is doing the least to attract attention and is in the most need of the renewal.
