As part of the whole school production Rm I has to produce a 5 minute item to perform. It had to be a play, story, poem etc as the main idea is a young girl traveling through a story book.
Rm I will be performing as...CATS! We will be using 'Macavity the Mystery Cat' written by well known American poet TS Eliot. We will have a singing, reciting, dancing extravaganza!
Watch this space!

Cats is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot, and produced by Cameron Mackintosh.
The musical tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles and
the night they make what is known as "the Jellicle choice" and decide
which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life. Cats also introduced the song standard "Memory".Directed by Trevor Nunn and choreographed by Gillian Lynne, Cats first opened in the West End in 1981 and then with the same creative team on Broadway in 1982. It won numerous awards, including Best Musical at both the Laurence Olivier Awards and the Tony Awards. The London production ran for twenty-one years and the Broadway production ran for eighteen years, both setting new records. Actresses Elaine Paige and Betty Buckley became particularly associated with the musical. One actress, Marlene Danielle, performed in the Broadway production for its entire run (from 1982 until 2000).
As of 2014, Cats is the second longest-running show in Broadway history, and was the longest running Broadway show in history from 1997-2006, surpassed by The Phantom of the Opera. Cats is the fourth longest-running West End musical. It has been performed around the world many times and has been translated into more than 20 languages. In 1998, Cats was turned into a made-for-television film.
