Oasis of the Seas 2014

The first cruise production of Cats opened on Royal Carribbean's 'Oasis of the Seas' at 2nd November 2014

where the musical will be performed alternately with other shows. Before Cats, Hairspray was performed there.

While this version is produced by Royal Carribbean, the whole show is based on the UK/European version of Cats. The costume designs are UK style, even though many of the wigs have their own, more 'ragged' variation of the original designs. The set (NAP 18) is pretty similar to the one of the German Tent Tour (NAP 19).

The production still uses the common version of Tugger's character (instead of the street cat version that will have its premiere in London). However, the choreography of the Jellicle Ball has already been reworked.

The cast consists of 22 cats. They use the American names for the kittens: Tumblebrutus, Sillabub and Pouncival. There's no Electra in the cast. Erica Hansen, who plays Jennyanydots, is the only acress who has been in a production of Cats (US National/Troika tour) before; all the others are making their debuts in Cats.
