CATS at North Park Theatre

San Diego Musical Theatre "The Local Way to See Broadway", Presents "CATS" March 21 - April 6, 2014 at the North Park Theatre. Directed by James Vasquez, CHorepgraphy by Janet Reslow and Musical Direction by Don LeMaster. With Matthew Novotny as Lighting Designer; Janet Pitcher as Costume Coordinator; and Stanley Cohen as Stage Manager.

Book by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr.
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot.

Based on the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, CATS tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer. A true musical theatre phenomenon, CATS opened at London’s New London Theatre on May 11, 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. CATS’s London success was nearly matched on Broadway where it ran at the Wintergarden Theatre for just over 18 years.

“It’s a musical that transports the audience into a complete fantasy world that could only exist in the theater and yet rarely does. CATS believes in purely theatrical magic, and on that faith it unquestionably delivers.”— Frank Rich, The New York Times
