Cats

CATS took the theatre world by storm in the early 80s, winning both the Tony and Olivier Award for Best Musical. Based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, it tells the story of the Jellicle cats deciding who will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and be reborn. Known for iconic songs like “Memory,” it is one of the longest-running musicals, with over 15,000 performances in London and New York.

School of Rock

Based on the hit 2003 film, School of Rock is a high-energy, family-friendly show that celebrates the power of rock ‘n roll and coming together. Nominated for Tony and Olivier Awards, it debuted to critical acclaim on Broadway in 2015 and London’s West End in 2016, touring globally afterward. The musical follows Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star who, after being mistaken for a substitute teacher, inspires his straight-laced students to chase their dreams and express themselves through music.
