Cats to return to Austria in 2013

After the roaring success of Cats the Musical in Vienna the show will return to Austria next year and play in Linz and Graz.

The world famous Andrew Lloyd Webber musical will play Linz from March 2nd until 1st of April 2013 and then will follow to Graz from 16th May until 16th of June.

Producers Maik Klokow and Ralf Kokemüller said: "Cats was a fantastic success in Vienna with nearly 250,0000 visitors. It is an honour. We are really looking forward to coming back to Austria in 2013."

The story of Cats is based on the literary draft of Nobel Prize winner T. S. Eliot, while the world-famous melodies are by Andrew Lloyd Webber. His Cats songs have written musical history: Everyone knows the stirring song "Memory", sung by stars such as Barbara Streisand and Angelika Milster.

"Cats" has captured the hearts of some 65 million theatre goers from around the world in its time and continues to attract audiences with its celebrated music and lively performances. In the last 30 years the musical has been performed in 300 cities around the world with the words of such songs "Memory" becoming iconic off this success.
