STAGE TUBE: Paris Cast of CATS Performs 'Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats'
The cast of the Paris production of CATS for its Paris run opened at Théâtre Mogador on 2nd October, and now, BroadwayWorld has footage of the cast performing at a recent telethon event. Watch them sing "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats" below!
The production will feature the changes made in the 2014 London Palladium run and will include a new song written by Andrew Lloyd Webber specifically for the French production. The new song will be sung in Italian and will be a similar style to that of an operatic aria. The rest of the musical will be performed in French.
Based on T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, the show is set amongst a larger- than-life junkyard playground and is alive with our favourite feline characters including Rum Tum Tugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Grizabella and Skimbleshanks.
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.
