While there is still a long, wet winter to get through, here's some purr-fectly good news to get you looking forward to summer already... Cape Town's festive season just got a lot more fabulous, with the news that the iconic musical CATS is returning to the Mother City!
CATS will run at the Artscape Opera House from 10 December 2025 to 11 January 2026.
Presented by Pieter Toerien and GWB Entertainment in association with Cape Town Opera, the production of CATS will also head to Johannesburg's Teatro at Montecasino from 17 January to 22 February 2026. Tickets are available exclusively through Webtickets.
Adapted from TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, Andrew Lloyd Webber's acclaimed musical brings to life a tribe of feline characters gathering for the mysterious Jellicle Ball. With eye-catching choreography, elaborate costumes and featuring the signature rendition of 'Memory', this new rendition of a much-loved theater classic promises an unforgettable night at the theatre.
Best you get your claws on some tickets before they're gone.
