The Jellicle Cats are coming to Georgetown! With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and directed by Amy King, our interpretation of CATS is set in the alley of a theatre and is alive with purr-fect felines including Rum Tum Tugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Skimbleshanks and Grizabella.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s popular musical brings together a tribe of Jellicle Cats on a moonlit evening, who must make the “Jellicle choice” to decide which of them will ascend to the mysterious Heaviside Layer to be reborn.
Based on T.S. Eliot’s whimsical collection of poems Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, and featuring such celebrated standards as the haunting “Memory,” Cats was an international phenomenon, and its original production is still the fourth-longest-running show on Broadway that was revived in summer 2016. A magical, moving, and often hilarious glimpse into the lives of others, Cats takes Eliot’s lyrical poetry and puts it into the mouths of a diverse company of singing and dancing felines.
The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year—the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.
Thank you to Joanne and Bill Harrah for sponsoring the show. We appreciate your support and generosity.
And thank you to our nonprofit partner, Ride on Center for Kids (R.O.C.K). They provide equine-assisted services to children, adults, and veterans with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges.
