Paige, Langford & Sleep Reprise Cats???
Date: 31 January 2005
Not only is speculation rife as to whether the
Andrew Lloyd Webber musical
Cats will be returning to the West End, but where it will be housed and who will star. Some whispers suggest the feline fest will return to it’s old home, the New London Theatre where it all began some 24 years ago after
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat closes on 2 April 2005 (see
The Goss, 27th Jan 2005). But, as previously tipped (See
The Goss, 13 Jan 2005),
The Evening Standard reports that the musical will be following
Jerry Springer into the Cambridge Theatre after it closes on 19 February (see
News, 12th Jan 2005) for a limited three-month-run.
The Standard also claims that stars from the original production will return for the run including
Elaine Paige – reprising the role of Grizabella and her star-making rendition of “Memories”,
Bonnie Langford and
Wayne Sleep.
