Japan 1983/Japan Casts

When Cats premiered in Japan in 1983, the production followed the West End/Broadway format with one main performer cast in each role plus several understudies/swings. At some point, they changed it so that multiple performers are cast in each role instead and they alternate their performances. Presumably they began this practice by 1985, hence why there are almost 70 cast members listed in the 1985 Osaka opening night programme.
