 | | | | Quote: The new enthralling show by Compagnia della Rancia - leader for musical theatre productions in Italy - is CATS, the most famous musical of all time. The show, announced as a leading event in 2009/2010 season, will be translated into Italian for the first time, as it has already happened for over 10 other languages. "We are really proud - said in a statement Saverio Marconi, director and point of reference of Italian musical - that The Really Useful Group, generally careful with the license of his musicals, after a six-year negotiationhas preferred Compagnia della Rancia for a masterpiece like CATS. Thanks to the translation, Italian audiencewill have the opportunity to understand the stories of these special cats, feel their emotions and, as Eliot said, remember that "a cat is not a dog." Compagnia della Rancia is now looking for CATS performers by open auditions on April 27 th in Milan and onMay 3 rd in Rome; for further information visit www.musical.it/audizioni. CATS will be performed first at Teatro Sistina in Rome on October 2009 (opening night is expected onTuesday 27 th ) and then at Allianz Teatro in Milan Official web site: www.cats.musical.it | | | | |

I think that its sanctioned by Really Useful so it is an "official" production. They probably will make it a replica, I hope!

I'm heading for Rome in mid December. Hoped "Cats" would be in town then, but no. Seems like I missed it with a few weeks only!

I know, but they are in Rome in almost all of November. I'll miss them by two weeks only! But by the time I arrive in Rome they'll be in southern Italy.
