The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year—the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories to Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.
Cats: Young Actors Edition is the brand new, one-hour adaptation of the world renowned hit musical, specially tailored for schools and youth groups. Including easy to sing orchestrations, beginners’ choreography videos and helpful guides on everything from pre-production and casting to rehearsal and the show itself, this is the ultimate how-to for putting on an incredible paw-formance!
