There's practically no plot to Lloyd Webber's catchy song settings of Eliot's 1939 poems from "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." In a dance-filled revue, felines boast about their jobs and talents at "The Jellicle Ball." They also jockey to be the one cat chosen annually to go to "The
Heaviside Layer," some sort of kitty cat heaven.
The story, which was originally based on T.S Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats from 1939, is about deciding which of the cats will ascend to the
Heaviside Layer - aka cat heaven, According to the director there's a deeper message too that makes it relevant to human life in 2019.
Over the course of a single night, a tribe of cats called the Jellicles make what is known as "the Jellicle choice" and decide which cat will ascend to the
Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life.
Adapted from TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, the performance tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles and the night they make what is known as the 'Jellicle choice' - their leader announces which of them will go up to The
Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new life.
Adapted from TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, on just one special night of the year, all Jellicle cats meet at the Jellicle Ball where Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, makes the Jellicle choice and announces which of them will go up to The
Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.
