Subject: Musicals Cats and Evita return to the West End stage

Written By: Philip Eno on 06/27/14 at 8:21 am

Hit Andrew Lloyd Webber 80s musicals Cats and Evita are to return to the West End stage.

Cats will run for 12 weeks at the London Palladium from December, with a cast yet to be announced.

Evita, will run for 55 shows from September at the Dominion, starring Marti Pellow and Madalena Alberto.

Both musicals starred Elaine Paige in their original productions and both became long-running award-winning shows that also had international success.

Cats, which closed in the West End more than a decade ago, is based on TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

The musical has won many awards and spawned much-loved songs such as Memory, which has been recorded by more than 150 artists, including Barbra Streisand, Johnny Mathis, Liberace and Barry Manilow.

Oh man, two shows (along with Phantom) that I had been DYING to see. I guess I'm gonna have to take a trip to London.  ;) :D ;D ;D

Here in the States, Betty Buckley (of Eight is Enough fame) starred in the original Broadway production of Cats & the OUTSTANDING Patti LuPone & Mandy Potemkin starred in Evita.
