South Africa 2001

Produced by Theatre impresario Pieter Toerien and Really Useful Company Asia Pacific, the 2001 South African production of Cats went on to become a World Tour, collecting local and Australian cast replacements as it toured.

Production Specifics
Initially the tour toured in a tent identical to the 1999 Australian Tour (whether this was the same tent or a new one is uncertain), alternating between a black and a white outer tent. However, later in the tour, the production played in conventional performance venues.

The exact end of the tour is uncertain, sometime around 2005-6. It is also uncertain as to whether the tour was considered a separate production when it moved from the tent tour to a theatre tour.
