The Broadway Phenomenon

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Based on Old Possum’s Book Of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot

June 27 – July 21, 2013

Inspired by the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, Cats tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats, at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer. A true musical theater phenomenon, Cats opened at London’s New London Theatre in 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. Cats’ London success was nearly matched on Broadway where it ran for just over 18 years. This enchanting musical features the immortal ballad “Memory,” as well as a collection of other whimsical tunes enjoyed by audiences young and old.

Performances held at the Deb Fennell Auditorium, 9000 SW Durham Rd., Tigard.

Performance run time is 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission.
