CATS

A fresh new interpretation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical masterpiece CATS will take over the National Theatre in January for a limited season of only 10 shows. This new production by the Young Australian Broadway Chorus (YABC) pays homage to the era when T.S. Eliot wrote the original poems for his children in the 1930s. Audiences will delight as Webber’s renowned musical meets the jazz age and the National Theatre is transformed into a crumbling English Music Hall during the Great Depression. “I’ve taken the design inspiration for this show away from the traditional junkyard and into a setting that evokes a faded opulence,” said director Robert Coates. “We want to literally immerse the audience in the story so we will not only be creating stunning original sets for the stage, but the experience will also extend into the auditorium.” This theme also extends to the stunning costumes inspired by the glamour of the roaring 20s and 30s which have been designed for the show by Sean Rentero.
