SAN DIEGO–Cats, the show that revolutionized musical theatre is coming to San Diego Civic Theatre for eight performances in January.
Based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, and with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Cats won seven 1983 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Lighting and Best Costumes.
Produced by Cats-Eye, LLC, the national tour of Cats is the only production in North America sanctioned by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
