London Production/London Casts

Cast lists from the London production of Cats that ran from 1981 to 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.



1981



 * Note: The characters of Admetus, Bill Bailey, Electra and Etcetera were not named at this point. They were collectively credited as "The Kittens".

1982

 * Note: 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" were two separate characters.
