UK Tour 2013

The UK Tour IV (also known as the UK/European Tour) started on the 9th February 2013 in Edinburgh, Scotland. It toured the UK, Italy, Belgium, Turkey and Greece. This production closed in Birmingham on 27th September 2014, before rehearsals began for the 2014 London Palladium production. Technically the London Palladium run was an extended stop of this same tour production; practically the Palladium had significant alterations made that earn it recognition as a separate production.

Production Specifics
The production was mostly based on the 3rd UK Tour but featured a slightly reduced tour set - rather than the descending steps for Grizabella's ascent to the Heaviside layer, the tour used the "UFO" set for the chandelier rig. Also missing were Mistoffelees' rope entrance, and the trapeze in Jellicle Songs.  Otherwise the tour set (NAP 16) was indistinguishable from previous UK Tour. Also the number of cats in the ensemble (22; with no Electra) and the orchestration were the same as on the former tour.
