Australasia 2007-2010

From 2007 to 2010, the Australian based production toured Asia and Australia. The production had an identical score to the previous Australian tours, with the exception that Mistoffelees was now mute, as he was in the Vienna production. The show used a mixture of a small live band, and pre-recorded backing for larger orchestrations. Admetus, Electra, George, Quaxo and Olivia were all present as onstage swings.

"Performers of 'Cats' rehearse yesterday at the Majestic Theatre on Jiangning Road. The award-winning musical, first staged in Shanghai five years ago, will be performed by CPAA Cultural Entertainment Company from Britain today through September 12 at the theater."
