Review: Beverley Knight stars in Cats at the London Palladium

Hot on the heels of its Blackpool run, Cats has returned to the London Palladium for a second Christmas season. 

When Andrew Lloyd Webber reunited with director Trevor Nunn, associate director/choreographer Gillian Lynne and designer John Napier to bring Cats back to the West End I don't think many predicted what a success the show would be. Performances sold out whilst both Nicole Scherzinger and Kerry Ellis received great acclaim for their portrayals of Grizabella.

Based on T.S Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the show is set on a special night of the year when all Jellicle cats meet at the Jellicle Ball. 

It's important to stress that before seeing Cats you have to leave all common sense outside the theatre and forget about any other musicals you may have seen (Cats can't be compared to anything). Cats shouldn't be over analysed; it is a truly unique show which was revolutionary for musical theatre when it was first staged in 1981.

Back in 2012 I fell in love with Elliot Davis and James Bourne's musical Loserville when it transferred to the West End following its premiere at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. Sadly the show closed after several months, but now the Union Theatre have revived it as part of their British Musicals season.
