Extra Week of Performances on Sale for CATS in Sydney

Following its triumphant season in London's West End, one of the greatest musicals of all time comes to Sydney opening at the Capitol Theatre on 30 October with an extra week of performances now on pre-sale. The season will close on Sunday 29 November with no extension possible as Cats then tours to Hobart, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

This 2015 Olivier Award-nominated hit revival, which reunited the original creative team and brought Cats back to the West End after a 12 year absence, received outstanding reviews and extended its season due to overwhelming demand. Delta Goodrem will star in the coveted role of 'Grizabella' and will sing the poignant hit song Memory. This hit revival introduces a rapping 'street cat' in the famous Rum Tum Tugger role, who will perform some serious breakdancing moves.

Based on T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, the show is alive with highly entertaining feline characters and wonderful witty verse, as the Jellicle Cats come out to play in a larger-than-life junkyard on the night of the Jellicle Ball.

One of the longest-running shows in West End and Broadway history, Cats has enchanted more than 73 million people in over 300 cities, winning numerous accolades including Olivier and Tony awards.

CATS is quite simply a phenomenon. Featuring a fantastical oversized set, a magnificent score, inspired choreography and mischievous costumes, Cats is a brilliant song and dance spectacular.

Cats was originally produced by Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Group Limited.
