A Slice of Saturday Night

Performed: 
May, 2011

Review by the Bolton News

CATS Youth Theatre put on toe tapping show stopping performance as they brought A Slice of Saturday Night to the stage.

The production was quality and simply stunning and well suited to this young talented cast who made this ambitious and challenging musical look effortless. Set in a 1960s nightclub, it explores the issues of young people facing adulthood.

The Wiz

Performed: 
November, 2010

Based on L Frank Baum’s children’s tale, The Wiz offers a different look at how Dorothy found her three friends and eventually ends up meeting The Wiz in a bid to get back home. The film starred the late Michael Jackson and Diana Ross amongst others but has been translated to an upbeat stage show which has become a modern classic particularly within youth theatre.

Sweeney Todd

Performed: 
May, 2010

"STEVEN Sondheim’s claustrophobic tale of revenge and murder is a danse macabre of terrifying proportions, and so it would be fair to wonder whether the young actors at CATS could channel the necessary bile to convey the dark Victorian spirit of these underworld characters."

Just So

Performed: 
November, 2009

"RUDYARD Kipling’s Just So stories are a childhood favourite, and this adaptation retains all the charm of the original tales."

Godspell

Performed: 
May, 2009

"GODSPELL is the latest offering from Cats Youth Theatre. The award winning youth theatre first presented the show in 2001 with a cast of 19, this production has a cast of 40."

Spring has come to the duckyard. Drake, the Mallard Duck, and his long suffering partner, Ida, await the birth of a new brood, but the clutch seems to contain one inordinately large egg this year. Sure enough, it cracks open to reveal an ugly chick nothing like his siblings, who makes a strange Honk sound instead of the expected Quack.
