America’s favorite
Family Musical prowls back into St. Louis
November
28-30 at The Fabulous
Fox…Face Painting in the Lobby prior to all
shows!
St. Louis, MO– The show that revolutionized
musical theatre is prowling to the Fox
Theatre in St. Louis for a limited
engagement with five performances November
28-30 as a special offering of the U.S. Bank
Broadway Series.
Produced by Cats-Eye, LLC, the national tour
of CATS is the only production in North
America sanctioned by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
With original direction by Trevor Nunn and
choreography by Gillian Lynne this is the
CATS credited with the British invasion of
Broadway. The national tour of CATS recently
celebrated its 26th anniversary season.
On May 11, 1981, CATS opened at the New
London Theatre in the West End. Eight years
later it celebrated its first important
milestone: after 3,358 performances CATS
became the longest running musical in the
history of British theatre. CATS played its
final performance on its 21st birthday, May
11, 2002.
In 1982 CATS opened at the Winter Garden
Theatre in New York City and continued to
live up to its motto "Now and Forever." On
June 19, 1997, CATS became the longest
running musical on Broadway. It ended its
18 year run on September 10, 2000.
Based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of
Practical Cats, and with music by Andrew
Lloyd Webber, CATS won seven 1983 Tony
Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of
a Musical, Best Lighting and Best Costumes.
In October of 1991 CATS became the longest
continuously touring show in American
theatre history. Five continents, 26
countries, over eight and a half million
audience members and 26 years later, CATS is
still America’s most loved family musical.
Celebrating not only 26 years but the birth
of the musical spectacular, CATS is still
revolutionary and awe inspiring.
Now that it has been seen by millions of
audience members worldwide, it is time to
celebrate with the whole family the magic,
the mystery, the wonder of CATS.
