Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber 
Based on 'Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats'
by 
T. S. Eliot

Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre
with Michael Harrison for Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals


'Another day is dawning' 

In Summer 2026, a brand-new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s global sensation CATS leaps into the magical outdoor setting of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.

From Euston station to Victoria Grove, the strays and rebels of London gather under the Jellicle moon in the hope they’ll be the chosen one. And each of them asks, because each of them dares, who will it be?

Based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, and with a legendary score featuring Old Deuteronomy, Macavity: The Mystery Cat, Jellicle Ball and the chart-topping hit Memory, this production of CATS, directed and choreographed by Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre Artistic Director Drew McOnie (Jesus Christ Superstar, Brigadoon), is sure to be one of the theatrical events of 2026.

Following a limited London run of just 7 weeks, this production will undertake a major UK tour through to July 2027.

* Membership Priority Booking and Ticket Discounts apply only to performances at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and cannot be used for performances of CATS at other venues.
