Produced by Theatre impresario Pieter Toerien[1] and Really Useful Company Asia Pacific, what began as a South African production of Cats in December 2001 went on to become a World Tour, collecting local and Australian cast replacements as it toured.
Production Specifics
Initially the tour toured in a tent identical to the 1999 Australian Tour (whether this was the same tent or a new one is uncertain), alternating between a black and a white outer tent. However, later in the tour, the production played in conventional performance venues.
The exact end of the tour is uncertain, sometime around 2005, as some tour dates and venues are unknown. It is also uncertain as to whether the tour was considered a separate production when it moved from the tent tour to a theatre tour.
Based on the Australian Tour, this production used named on-stage swings.
