Chorzów 2022

This non-replica production is the second Cats production in Poland. It had its premiere on 27th April 2022 in Teatr Rozrywki in Chorzów. It's directed by Jakub Szydłowski, who played Rum Tum Tugger in the Warsaw 2004 production.

This production uses the translation made for Warsaw 2004 by Daniel Wyszogrodzki, and keeps the translated title of "Koty". With that, the character names stay as in Warsaw, Jellicle cats are named Koty Dachowe (Roof Cats) and Jellicle ball is Dachowy Ball (Roof Ball).

According to the director, the show takes place on the roof of Rozrywka Theatre. The set is more industrial looking.

Costume and make up designs are original, with some inspiration from Warsaw.
