Cats July 5, 2007

Theatre at the Center is proud to present one of the most beloved and successful musicals of all time, Andrew Lloyd Webers CATS. Translated in over 20 languages, the Tony award-winning hit previews June 28, opens July 5 and runs through August 19 at Theatre at the Center, 1040 Ridge Road, Munster, Indiana. CATS will be directed and choreographed by Stacey Flaster.

The Jellicle Ball is a particularly special night once a year when the tribe of Jellicle cats unite to celebrate who they are. They emerge from the darkened hiding places into a larger-than-life abandoned theater, singing of their unique abilities and special qualities. The cats are at first suspicious and proud, reluctant to allow an audience into their domain.

One by one the cats step forward to showcase their talents and reveal who they are in an audition for the role to make the special journey to reincarnation. The musical, perfect for the entire family, showcases characters from all walks of life who are metaphors of characters from different parts of society. CATS beautiful score features the international hit, Memory.
