CATS Musical Opens June 14 At The Belmont Theatre

The Belmont will present Andrew Lloyd Webbers CATS, with a LIVE Orchestra, opening June 14! This musical sensation for the entire family will run for two weekends on the main stage June 14-16 & 20-23.

Come see the artistry of some of the areas most talented dancers and vocalists on a creative set of oversized items in a junkyard that creates the place for the gathering of cats. The oversized junkyard will magically shrink you down to the size of a cat! Allow yourself to be caught off guard as a stage full of felines show you their world through the art of music and dance. What happens in a cat's world when the lights go out? What if YOU were the size of a cat? What if YOU were invited to the prestigious gathering of cats, when the Jellicle Moon appears? Well, the moon is shining bright on the main-stage and YOU are all invited…to honor one special cat, giving them another life...as if nine were not enough!

T.S. Eliot's poetry, set to Andrew Lloyd Webber's mesmerizing music, shows us that cats are, in many ways, just like us. Owners tend to rub off on their cats and you will see many of their traits portrayed LIVE on our junkyard stage. There are motherly cats, sexy cats, a fat cat, gangster cats, a has-been cat hoping for another chance in life, and yes, a leader of cats, who also happens to be the father of many of the cats you will meet. The original creative team for CATS took everything they knew about music, theatre. dance, and storytelling and created something so original that no one has been able replicate it since. CATS the Musical is rich with story after story of endearing cat characters you'll fall in love with. 

Andrew Lloyd Webber took the world by surprise with his masterpiece, creating a whole new approach to musical theater. The beauty of dance creates the majestic lines of a cat and the music, special effects and innovative set take you into the magical world of these mysterious creatures. YOU are invited to visit the stage at intermission to view the junkyard and walk amongst the larger-than-life props produced by the creative team!
