A Blackpool production of CATS was mounted in mid-2015, which ran from July 9th to September 6th. The world-renowned Blackpool Opera House hosted the run. Tickets went on sale March 13th 2015. The well-known performing artist Jane McDonald played the lead role of Grizabella.
Production Specifics[]
This run immediately followed the London 2014 production, and incorporates the revisions written by the show's creator, which includes reworking of 'Rum Tum Tugger' and 'Growltiger's Last Stand', as well as the introduction of new characters and costumes. Some cast members from West End reprised their run on the show. Apart from Jane McDonald, the entire Blackpool production transferred back to the Palladium in October 2015, making the Blackpool run effectively part of the same production.
