"Cats" - Getting Ready

The musical "Cats" takes to the stage next week, and it's a show that's very makeup intensive. In recent weeks the cast members have been designing and learning how to apply the distinctive makeup which transforms their appearance.

There's a photo gallery here showing the performers working on their look (just click on the link on the Photo Galleries page).

The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical will be presented by First Stage Theater Company.
