CATS
To describe CATS briefly...it's about a group of cats called Jellicles that get together once a year for the Jellicle Ball. On that night, the Jellicles decide which cat gets to go to the Heaviside Layer (cat heaven) to be reborn and life a new Jellicle life. In a nutshell, the musical is about the cats deciding who is the one to be reborn.
