The University of Utah’s Musical Theatre Program senior class is bringing their careers to a close as they showcase their skills in “Cats.”
One of the longest running musicals in Broadway’s history, “Cats” originated as a collection of poems by T.S. Elliot and includes songs written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a writer for “The Phantom of the Opera” and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” among others.
Over the course of the show, the audience witnesses the “Jellicle Ball,” wherein the “Jellicle cats” join together to see which of them will be selected to rise to the “Heavyside Layer.
