Touching and Whimsical. Striking choreography abounds in this most-loved musical as the scene is set in a large rubbish area which, after dark, becomes alive with cats of all types, shapes and sizes. They are gathering for the Jellicle Ball during which one cat will be allotted an extra precious life. One of the longest running shows on Broadway which includes the most memorable tune, Memory. Based on the book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot.Prosduction photos by Carla McDonald
