Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) presents Cats and School of Rock in repertory at Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park from July 5 to August 24.

From one of the longest-running musicals of all time to a feel-good tribute to rock ‘n roll, TUTS invites audiences to dream big, live boldly, and rock out into the night this summer season.

An award-winning musical on both Broadway and London’s West End, where it played for 21 record-breaking years and almost 9,000 performances, Cats tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles and the night they make the “Jellicle choice” by deciding which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to new life. The musical sensation is overflowing with unforgettable songs based on the whimsical poetry of T.S. Eliot, including ‘Mr Mistoffelees,’ ‘Macavity: The Mystery Cat,’ and the all-time favourite, ‘Memory.’

Based on the hit 2003 film, School of Rock is a high-voltage, exuberantly loud, feel-good show that showcases the strength of coming together and the irrepressible power of rock ‘n roll. The musical follows wannabe rock star Dewey Finn. Kicked out of his band and facing eviction, we watch as he seizes the opportunity to make some quick cash when he’s mistaken for a substitute teacher at a straight-laced, uptight private school. Avoiding the prying eyes of the school’s principal and parents, Dewey teaches his classroom the one thing he knows best: How to rock!

TUTS’ two-show subscription packs are on sale now through May 17, and single tickets go on sale May 23.

All shows are at 8 p.m., except on Fireworks Nights (July 20, 24, and 27), when shows begin at 7 p.m. Check the TUTS website for complete details.
