This Swedish production of "Cats" was a non-replica production, set in an abandoned fairground. It used the same translation by Ingela 'Pling' Forsman as the earlier 1987 Swedish Production.
The production initially ran in Gothenburg between September 2006 and February 2007, before being revived in Stockholm with the same set, characters, and costumes between September and December 2009.
