On 27 July 1985, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ground-breaking musical CATS had its Australian Premiere at Theatre Royal Sydney, heralding a new era of the British “mega-musical”. Now exactly 40 years later, on Sunday 27 July 2025, this record-breaking musical production will commemorate its 40th anniversary in Australia with a celebratory performance attended by many of the original Australian cast and crew.
“Australia has an enduring love for CATS. It was revolutionary when it first opened, and now, 40 years later, we celebrate its legacy on its 40th anniversary at the original Australian home of CATS, Theatre Royal Sydney,” said producer John Frost for Crossroads Live.
The 40th Anniversary Australian tour of CATS has opened in Sydney to rapturous audience response and rave reviews, before it tours to Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane. Watch the opening night in Sydney here.
