Cats - October/November 2019
Based on 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.
Cats’ best known song is Memory which has been recorded by numerous artists and is one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's most famous compositions - a runaway hit with a life far beyond the musical.
Cats played at the Schonell Theatre from 25 October – 3 November 2019.
Production Director: Kade O’Rourke
Musical Director: Julie Whiting
Choreographer: Jo Badenhorst
“On the heels of their accomplished “Annie”, Queensland Musical Theatre are... more than up for the task, given its expandable cast of different age groups.”
“The only things that matters in a production of Cats is can Grizabella sing “Memory” and does the choreography stack up. Queensland Musical Theatre ticked both boxes in a production that was ablaze with energy, dance gymnastics, and vocal expertise.”
“In a rendition that was filled with many paw-sitive aspects, Queensland Musical Theatre (QMT) has successfully presented the infamous musical, ‘Cats’. ”
