The first ever UK revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Cats' is coming to London next summer

Four years ago the musical theatre titan was at low ebb: declaring he'd rather go to prison than allow his extremely mid new musical Cinderella to open with social distancing was not be any stretch of the imagination his finest hour. There has been no new musical since then, although him and Tim Rice have written the songs for this year's Birmingham Rep Christmas production, and a full scale new one called The Illusionist is now in the works.
