“Cats” first came to Manila in 2010, where Lea Salonga played the role of Grizabella, together with an international cast from Australia and the UK.
Based on T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, “Cats” first returned to the West End in December 2014 reuniting the original creative team – Director Trevor Nunn, Associate Director and Choreographer Gillian Lynne, Designer John Napier and Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Following a second season at the London Palladium in 2015 and a UK Tour in 2016, the production embarked on an international tour in 2017 and now continues to tour the world throughout 2018 and 2019.
