From the 5th to the 15th of October the world’s most famous musical, Cats, will be back in Lisbon at the Recreios Coliseum. The Portuguese population has anxiously awaited this return, for two years, as the 6 week performance flew by and many missed the opportunity to catch the show.
After being present in over 20 countries, performing live in more than 250 cities, and attracting 115 thousand spectators two years ago in Lisbon, Porto received this box office hit for the very first time. Tickets unexpectedly sold out, and the show will now end on the 30th of September instead of the 17th.
Since Cats’s debut in London, 1981, the show has practically toured the world, having been translated in 10 different languages, winning 7 Tony Awards and one Grammy, amongst others. Reasons of success are explained by the excellent cast, where each interpretation has a personal touch, the unforgettable music that accompanies the story, Memory for example, and the appealing theme.
It is Lisbon’s turn to enjoy the show once again, but this time, ARTEH® - Hotels and Resorts offers the best accommodation for all visitors from abroad.
About Cats
Based on the Old Possum´s Book of Practical Cats by TS Eliot, the musical tells the story of Grizabella the cat who finely returns to her family after abandoning them to discover other “worlds”.
The story is centered within a group of cats that get together “on a very special night” to discuss which one of them may get a new life in the mystical land of Heavyside Layer.
