Production Specifics
Early hinted production details include new costumes and make up for the first time in Asia, and a "new aria" and confirmed the use of Gillian Lynne's choreography. This suggests the use of the 2015 Australasian Tour costumes, which were revamped from the 2014 style to try to resemble the London revival appearance. The "new aria" could be new material, but it seems likely to be a reference to the Palladium version of "Growltiger's Last Stand", which is darker and grittier than the music-hall style of the original scene.

It is not yet known whether this production will use the Street Cat Tugger material, which was used for the previous 2015 tour, or whether the production will be updated in line with the 2016 Broadway and 2017 International Tour productions, to include the original Rum Tum Tugger. Rehearsals began on May 8th for the July 11th opening.
