CATS is not your ordinary musical. In fact, it's a sung-through piece of dance theater, which was conceived for the West End stage at a time when Andrew Lloyd Webber had never yet had a huge hit, and the emerging art form was heavily identified with the American Theatre.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's blockbuster musical Cats, which is based on T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, and presented in Manila by GMG Theatrical Productions and David Ian Productions, has opened its limited four-week run (until 1 December 2019 only) at The Theatre at Solaire in Paranaque City.

When Magic Mike Live in London first went on sale in June, most of the shows for the first six months of the run at the Theatre at the Hippodrome Casino sold out within five days and in September Channing Tatum and his co-producers released an extra 10,000 tickets, including for some extra shows in January. It has now been decided that at 1.00pm each Monday, beginning Monday 5 November 2018, Magic Mike Live will release a certain amount of tickets that have been held for producers and creatives. People will be able to purchase these tickets either in person at the theatre's new box office on Cranbourn Street or online from www.magicmikelondon.co.uk.

This will be the final opportunity to purchase tickets for many of these early performances. In addition, a limited number of seats for the show's official opening on 28 November 2018 are being released so that fans of the show have the opportunity to be a part of that once-in-a-lifetime event.
