London 2014

The 2014 West End production of Cats is a limited 12-week run at the Palladium theatre, London. It will essentially be the UK tour, with an as-yet unknown number of changes to the original. The most prominent alteration is the announced re-working of The Rum Tum Tugger into a "Street Cat", replacing his solo with a rap number. "Growltiger's Last Stand" will also be re-worked.

For the first time in a British production of Cats, there will be Pouncival as well as Carbucketty in the ensemble, however the other kitten characters often cut from productions - Etcetera, Electra, Victor and George are not included.
