Synopsis
It’s the night of the Jellicle Ball, and cats of every description have gathered in a back alley, slinking around the refuse and cast-offs of the human world. Every cat has his say, and the theatre cat, the Siamese cat, and the bedraggled old Grizabella tell the stories of their lives…and wait. Only one of them will travel on to the Heavyside Layer. Which one will it be?
