Producer John Frost for Crossroads Live commented on the tour’s enduring appeal:
Australia has an enduring love for CATS – it was revolutionary when it first opened. The reaction to the show’s opening night at the original Australian home of CATS, Theatre Royal Sydney, was amazing. We have assembled a purr-fect cast for this 40th Anniversary Australian tour, with a talented mix of seasoned artists and new performers to the industry. It’s time to let the memory live again, so buy your tickets today before they sell out!
