Cats May 2023

CATS, the Musical, at the the Twelfth Night Theatre, was served up by a troupe of incredible performers from Queensland Musical Theatre.  

 

One of Brisbane’s premier performers, Kathryn Bradbury-King (Opera Queensland), brought to life the famous role of Grizabella, performing the showstopper song, Memory. 

 

The show’s sumptuous score was artfully musically directed by Michael Keen and delightfully choreographed by Jo Badenhorst. At the helm of the creative team was Production Director, Caley Munro.  “CATS was one of the first musicals I watched when I was little, and the music, the dancing and the costumes still send shivers down my spine”, said Ms Munro.  

 

This West End and Broadway hit is based on T.S. Eliot’s poetry collection, Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, and has been reworked by the original creative team 30 years after its debut.  

 

After successful seasons around the world, CATS enchanted a new generation of Brisbane fans and again charmed those who are returning a second or third time.
