Euro Tour 1994

Cats toured Europe extensively in the mid-90s, visiting many cities that had previously hosted a permanent production. This leads to some confusion as to what was the original production in that city, and what was the tour visit.

The production was completely based on the Zurich production from 1991 (which in turn was based on the Amsterdam and Vienna productions). The set, the costumes and many cast members from Zurich were transferred. Many of the actors had been members of the Vienna, Amsterdam and Paris casts before (all these productions were created by the same creative team).

What was special about the Euro Tour, was that the cast had to know the show both in English and German. The German lyrics were based on the Vienna lyrics with some necessary changes. Like in Zurich 1991 and Amsterdam 1992, they used the Original London version of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer instead of the Vienna version.
