London Production/London Casts

Cast lists from the London production of Cats - 1981 - 2002 The London production generally offered six month contracts, resulting in frequent cast changes. Archiving these cast lists encounters a couple of issues - the programmes, containing the full information of who plays who, do not always include publication dates. Conversely, the Souvenir Brochures always include a publication date, but publish only an alphabetical list of performers, not including the roles played. Additionally, the photos may also be reprinted from previous casts. This means that this list is known to be inaccurate, incomplete, and subject to updating when more information surfaces.

1982
November 1982

Programme cast slip from November 1982 - "At this performance, Geoff Davids plays Quaxo, Nigel Spencer, Mr Mistoffelees, and Julie Horner, Jemima." This suggests that at this point in the show's development, "Quaxo" and "Mistoffelees" are two separate characters.
