(BLOOMFIELD, NJ) -- NiCori Studios & Productions will be the first in New Jersey to produce "CATS: Young Actor's Edition", the brand new, one-hour adaptation of the world renowned Andrew Lloyd Webber TONY Award winning musical on Thursday through Sunday, January 25, 26 and 27, 2024.
“CATS: Young Actor's Edition” is the culmination of singing, acting and dance classes and workshops Directed by Corinna Sowers Adler with Choreography by Lisa Grimes and Musical Direction by Shane Turner. The production will feature two outstanding NiCori alumnae, Kim Rabbia and Ava Rakowski.
The musical is based on the 1939 poetry collection Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot. It tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles and the night they make the "Jellicle choice" by deciding which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life. As of 2022, Cats remains the fifth-longest-running Broadway show and the seventh-longest-running West End show. While on Broadway, it featured such luminaries as Betty Buckley, Harry Groener, Laurie Beechman, Liz Callaway, Terrence Mann and Lillias White to name a few. The movie version featured James Corden, Jennifer Hudson and Taylor Swift.
NiCori’s “CATS: Young Actor's Edition” will be held at the Watchung Presbyterian Church (375 Watchung Avenue) in Bloomfield, New Jersey. Tickets are available for purchase online.
