Press Release
"'The South African hit production of CATS is back this year at Teatro at Montecasino from 26 September - 22 November 2009 and Artscape Opera House from 29 November 2009 - 10 January 2010. Eight years ago Pieter Toerien produced the original South African hit production of CATS at Artscape in Cape Town and at the State Theatre in Pretoria. The show was groundbreaking and launched many of its cast to stardom on international tours of the Far East. CATS sold-out every night and there were many who did not get a chance to experience the magic. Pieter Toerien is very happy to announce that CATS will be back to grace the South African stages in Johannesburg at the Teatro Montecasino and in Cape Town at Artscape Opera House. CATS 2009 will feature a new generation of talented South African performers eager to make CATS bigger and better than ever! '"
