Italian Tour 2009

Italy saw the first local non-replica tour of Cats in late 2009.

Production Specifics
As a country with a long history of performing arts, the Italian production drew on design influences such as Commedia dell'arte, Venetian Carnival costumes, rather than the 1980s dancer influence of John Napier's designs.
