New Candlelight Theatre Presents CATS
New Candlelight Theatre is proud to present the area premiere of one of the longest running, most beloved Broadway shows. CATS, winner of 7 TONY Awards including Best Musical, features spectacular dancing, amazing costumes and a glorious musical score. Local demand for this show is strong as some performances have sold out. New Candlelight Theatre, Delaware's best deal for dinner and show, will present this musical for eight weeks, opening on January 28, 2011 and closing on March 20, 2011.
The show is directed and choreographed by Dann Dunn, a veteran of CATS and returning guest artist to NCT. Mr. Dunn performed a number of roles during the 2007 / 2008 North American Tour including: Rum Tum Tugger, Mungojerrie, and Skimbleshanks. "It's a phenomenon" says Dunn, when asked about what sets CATS apart from any other musicals. "It's one of those shows that epitomizes musical theatre and continues to bring in an audience of people that have seen the show dozens of times, as well as people that have never seen a musical in their life." CATS uses elaborate costumes, intricate make-up design and large set pieces to create a show that "is incredibly visually appealing," Dunn says. "It's exciting (for the audience) to be invited into the mysterious world of this tribe of cats (and taken) on a wonderful journey through beautiful music and dance."
