Cats played at the ABB Music Theatre in Zurich, Switzerland from August 1991 to December 1993. Immediately after closing in Zurich, the production became the 1994 European Tour, taking the set, production properties, and many of the cast on the road.
Production Specifics[]
The Zurich production was a descendant of the Vienna production, meaning that, amongst other changes, Griddlebone was played by Jennyanydots rather than Jellylorum. The Jemima/Rumpleteazer performer is also credited as playing Quaxo - this is nothing to do with Mistoffelees, rather "Quaxo" is the name of the lead tap-dancing Beetle in "The Old Gumbie Cat". The original choreography had an extended tap routine for Quaxo, making the role as prominent as Genghis the lead Siamese Cat, or Rumpus Cat.
The theatre would later host Cats several more times during different tours.
