Cat (The Play!!!)
Closing: April 26, 2017Cat (The Play!!!) - 2017 West End History , Info & More
Ambassadors Theatre
West St, West End, London WC2H 9ND, United Kingdom LondonA roller coaster, tongue-in-cheek homage to the world of musical theatre, CAT (THE PLAY!) is the fictitious account of how Dave the Cat was sacked from the iconic musical CATS just minutes before 'curtain up' on opening night.
As dreams of West End acclaim and adulation turn to tatter, this riotous parody of show business offers audiences a comedic, fictional insight into Dave's turbulent theatrical career, beginning with his first role as Jesus' donkey in the original cast of Jesus Christ Superstar and ending with a grand finale of backstage drama, romance and anarchy that led to his hopes of stardom becoming nothing more than a distant 'Memory'.
