Cats Dance into Beijing in April
|
| 3-Mar-2004 - |
The wildly popular Broadway musical Cats will frolic its way through nine shows in Beijing's Great Hall of the People from April 27 to May 3. The cast is the same one originally scheduled to perform last year for two months at the Tianqiao Theatre. The run was postponed then owing to the SARS epidemic. According to the Beijing sponsor, the China Performance Art Agency (CPAA), more than 20 million yuan (US$2.4 million) was spent to bring Cats to China. This may be the nation's most expensive theatre performance ever. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has insisted since Cats debuted in London 23 years ago that every detail of the play remain unchanged, no matter where the performance is held. That way, audiences in Beijing in 2004 can see the same show that delighted London audiences in 1981. The Really Useful Group (RUG), an international entertainment company Webber founded in 1977, has sent a team to the Great Hall of the People to draw up plans for the new stage to be built especially for this event. The stage will be the largest that Cats has ever been performed on, so the cast and crew are looking ahead to some challenges as well as to the thrill of performing in the Great Hall of the People. |
