Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS is presented by Canberra Academy of Dramatic Art's junior musical theatre students. In this abridged version of the West End classic, this show is based on the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot. CATS tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer.

A true musical theatre phenomenon, CATS opened at London's New London Theatre on May 11, 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. CATS's London success was nearly matched on Broadway where it ran at the Winter Garden Theatre for just over 18 years.

All CADA's performers in this show are between the ages of 9 and 15 years old.
