Award-Winning Local Theatre Group Stages Iconic Musical CATS at the Lyceum Theatre
Press Contact: Producer/Director Shaun T. Evans 619-944-7574 or shaun@cyctheatre.com
The award-winning California Youth Conservatory Theatre (CYC) is proud to present a special engagement of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s iconic musical, CATS, opening September 26th 2015 at the Lyceum Theater in Horton Plaza. Winner of 7 Tony Awards, this timeless musical is based on T.S. Elliot’s famous work, Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.
Now the third longest-running show in Broadway history, CATS is one of the most well-known and best-recognized musicals in the world.
Producer/Director Shaun T. Evans has assembled an impressive team for this production, including a stellar cast which includes the area’s very best youth, high-school and college performers. The show also features guest-performances by seasoned professional performers like San Diego power-house, Miss Leigh Scarritt, as “Grizabella”, the ‘glamour-cat’ who sings the show’s flagship song, “Memory.” Miss Leigh is also the show’s Choral Director. Of her work on the show, the show’s director comments, “The young performers in this cast are so lucky to be learning music from such a consummate pro, but also to be able to perform side-by-side on stage with her. The patrons are in for a real treat, too.” The show’s director, long-time professional actor Shaun T. Evans, is also taking the stage as “Old Deuteronomy”, one of the show’s main characters.
Since 2003, San Diego theatre-goers have been treated to CYC’s outstanding programming which features bold and ambitious projects with professional guest performers and collaborators. In the summer of 2013, CYC produced San Diego’s first presentation of the new Broadway version of Les Misèrables, which was co-directed by Evans and special guest director Thomas O’Leary, who played the title character in The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. That production garnered the group a Bravo San Diego award for “Best Musical” from the San Diego Performing Arts League—an honor never before bestowed on a youth theatre group. Additionally, the production hit a national high for box-office sales with a six-figure take in only a two-week run. Prior to that, the group gained attention with several ‘first-ever’ productions for a youth company, including the world’s first-ever youth theatre productions of RENT, Ragtime and Aaron Sorkin’s play, A Few Good Men. As evidence of the group’s local acclaim, CYC Theatre also won the “Best Theatre Group” title on the San Diego A-List Awards for three consecutive years (2011, 2012 and 2013).
CYC Theatre pioneered the trend-setting model of pairing aspiring young performers with seasoned professional performers who serve as mentors for the student performers. This mentor-based training model has served CYC’s students very well as many of them have gone on to professional careers at very young ages. In its 11 short years of programming, CYC has already sent three of its ‘native sons’ to Broadway, and is celebrating the third CYC alumnus to appear on “American Idol.”
This show will open on September 26th at 7pm at the Lyceum Theatre and will run for 12 performances, closing on October 11th. All patrons in attendance opening night will be treated to a complimentary champagne and dessert reception after the show. Tickets range in price from $18 to $32, with discounts available for students, seniors and military personnel. For more information, go to www.cyctheatre.com or call 619-944-7574. To order tickets directly, call the Lyceum Theatre box office at 619-544-1000. For a complete cast-list, cast photos and other materials, please see the PRESS page on www.cyctheatre.com.
