In a special night of the year, all Jellicle cats meet at Jellicle Ball. There the wise and benevolent leader, Old Deuteronomy, announces which of them will go to a place called Heaviside Layer, which will be reborn a new Jellicle life.

Cats was the second musical that more time was playing at the New London Theatre: 21 years.Lost the rank of first few years for the "Phantom of the Opera," also from Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The song "Memory" has been recorded by over 170 artists! The best known versions have been recorded by Elaine Paige and Barbra Streisand.
Among the more than 30 awards already granted to it, count up seven Tony Awards and a Grammy.
The song "Memory" Susan Boyle secured the victory in the first semi-final of the British show Britain's Got Talent.
The stage of "CATS" has around 12 inputs and outputs to the stage relying on small ramps connecting the stage to the audience, where the actors walked alongside the viewers, and also pipes below the stage.
"CATS" is one of the few that need Pit musical singers. Singers cabin that help the chorus part, since his choreography and music are very complicated.
 Conclusion

In my opinion is a great musical, has won many awards and is good for watch with family and friends. The beautiful music and how the music develops.
Bye Bye.
