Today the Producers of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s CATS announced the all-Australian cast

Choreographer/swing), Dominique Hamilton (Rumpleteazer), Ashleigh Hauschild

Christopher Favaloro (Mr Mistoffelees), Keanu Gonzalez (Alonzo/Rumpus Cat), Ross

Tobias Madden (Carbucketty), Matt McFarlane (Munkustrap), Stephen Morgante

Jones/Gus/Growltiger), Taylor Scanlan (Bill Bailey), Jason Wasley (Old Deuteronomy),
and Patrick Whitbread (Coricopat).
The actor to play the role of ‘Grizabella’ in Australia is yet to be announced.
CATS, one of the longest running shows in the West End and on Broadway, received its
world premiere at the New London Theatre in 1981 where it played for 21 record-breaking
years and almost 9,000 performances. The production was the winner of the Olivier and
Evening Standard Awards for Best Musical. In 1983 the Broadway production became the
recipient of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical and ran for 18 years. Since its world
premiere, CATS has been presented in over 30 countries, has been translated into 15
languages and has been seen by over 73 million people worldwide. Both the original
London and Broadway cast recordings won Grammy Awards for Best Cast Album. The
classic Lloyd Webber score includes Memory, which has been recorded by over 150 artists,
from Barbra Streisand and Johnny Mathis to Liberace and Barry Manilow.
The 2015 Olivier Award-nominated show, which was reworked by the original creative team
– Director Trevor Nunn, Associate Director and Choreographer Gillian Lynne, Designer
John Napier and Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber – was a smash hit throughout its run at
the London Palladium in 2014/15. Nicole Scherzinger and then Kerry Ellis played the role
of Grizabella during its sell-out West End season.
This hit revival introduces a rapping ‘street cat’ in the famous Rum Tum Tugger role, who will
perform some serious breakdancing moves.
