Cats opened at the Teatro Coliseum, Madrid, on 17 December 2003 and ran until 16 January 2005.
Production Specifics[]
This iteration was the first appearance of the "NAP 17" set that was then used in Moscow and for the Dutch Tour.
Some of the promotional material for this production came from the German productions from 2002 and earlier.
Compared to other UK based productions, some of the costume choices seem quite odd, e.g. Electra and Plato both wearing an Admetus wig and Pouncival wearing an Admetus unitard. Just like the Berlin costumes, the Madrid costumes were made under the supervision of Armin Werner.
The scenery was built under the supervision of Christoph Weyers, who also happened to be the Associate Set Designer of the Berlin production.
Like in the 80s and early 90s in London, "The Old Gumbie Cat" was sung by Mistoffelees.
Creative Team[]
The creative team of the Madrid production was quite special as it included members from the European team (including Chrissie Cartwright, Marina Stevenson, Howard Eaton, and Daniel Bowling), the German team (including Christoph Weyers, and Armin Werner), and the American team (including Suzanne Viverito, and Gaston Brisky). A mixture that never occured to such extend before or after.
