“You’ll understand what happiness is.”


 

Let the “Memory” live again. With record-breaking runs on Broadway and London’s West End, this worldwide sensation is one of the most beloved musicals of all time. Join Grizabella, Old Deuteronomy, Mister Mistoffelees and the rest of the Jellicle Cats as they gather under a full moon to discover who will be chosen to ascend to the Heaviside Layer. It’s a song and dance spectacular that will have you purring.

 

This will be the first made-in-Alberta production of this ground breaking musical. We’ll transform our theatre into a gigantic back alley of feline proportions! You’ll marvel at the spectacle of singing and dancing cats surrounding you in one of the greatest musicals ever. – Dennis
