Open Air Revival

The West End classic Cats gets a thrilling, open-air revival in Summer 2026! Playing in the stunning, verdant surroundings of Regents Park Open Air Theatre, artistic director Drew McOnie choreographs and directs this new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's and Cameron Mackintosh's iconic work, full of instantly recognizable costumes and tunes, with choreography  bursting with cat-itude. Created in 1981, Cats is based on poet T.S Elliot's 1939 anthology, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, a guide to all kinds of cats from the streetwise stray to the pampered lap cat. 

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Once a year, a local tribe of street cats, all with their own distinct names and personalities, come together for the legendary "Jellicle Ball". Here they entertain each other, tell stories, and listen to wisdom given by their elderly and respected leader, Old Deuteronomy. A true musical theatre classic, Cats doesn't follow your usual musical theatre plot, instead, it's a dazzlingly choreographed jamboree that gives us the inside scoop on the real lives of our feline friends!
