Cats at Glasgow Theatre Royal

Why see Cats?

Come one, Come all!

Jellicle Cats come one, come all! Andrew Lloyd Webber's legendary feline frolic is back in 2026, coming to you on tour! A production full of musical theatre classics, instantly recognisable costumes, and choreography, and bursting with cat-itude, this iconic show is purrfect for newcomers and old-timers.

Created by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh in 1981, Cats is based on poet T.S. Elliot's 1939 anthology, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, a guide to all kinds of cats from the streetwise stray to the pampered lap cat. 

What Is the 'Story' of Cats?

Once a year, a local tribe of street cats, all with their own distinct names and personalities, come together for the legendary "Jellicle Ball". Here they entertain each other, tell stories, and listen to wisdom given by their elderly and respected leader, Old Deuteronomy. A Broadway classic, Cats doesn't follow your usual musical theatre plot, instead, it's a dazzlingly choreographed jamboree that gives us the inside scoop on the real lives of our feline friends!
