One of the longest-running shows in West End and Broadway history Cats continues its successful 2014 UK and European tour at Venue Cymru in Llandudno from June 3.

Based on TS Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record- breaking adaptation is directed by Trevor Nunn, with choreography by Gillian Lynne.

Recreating the direction and choreography for the tour is Chrissie Cartwright.

Including one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most memorable musical scores, spectacular set design, extraordinary costumes and stunning choreography, Cats is a uniquely magical musical.

On just one special night of the year, all Jellicle cats meet at the Jellicle Ball where Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, makes the Jellicle choice and announces which of them will go up to the heaviside layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.

Music, dance and verse fuse together in an enchanting blend of fantasy, drama and romance.

Cats opened at the New London Theatre on May 11, 1981 and played almost 9,000 performances.

It closed on May 11, 2002 having celebrated 21 record-breaking years and winning an Olivier Award for Best Musical (1981).

On Broadway it was the winner of seven Tony Awards (including Best Musical and Best Director) and ran for an amazing 18 years making it second only to The Phantom of the Opera as Broadway’s longest running musical.

Cats continues to be a worldwide musical phenomenon - to date it remains one of the world’s longest running musicals and has been seen by more than 50 million people.

It has enchanted audiences in more than 300 cities in 26 countries around the world and has been performed in at least 10 different languages.
