Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical Cats arrives at Etihad Arena from 4-13 June 2027, inviting audiences in Abu Dhabi to experience one of the most influential productions in theatre history.

Celebrated for its evocative score, striking visual design, and outstanding ensemble, Cats has been praised for its “timeless music, spectacular sets and a superb cast” (Daily Mirror).
