CATS in Oostende: a great success!
With 40,000 visitors in just 3 weeks the Oostende run for the UK tour of CATS was a huge success.
The Flemish press was unanimously enthusiastic about this touring CATS version staged by David Ian Productions, that had ventured out of the United Kingdom especially for this occasion:
Fantastic entertainment ( Knack)
Great example of a classic musical (De Morgen)
An immortal musical ( De Standaard)
After a long, long period of waiting ( CATS was performed for the first -ánd last time- in Belgium in Antwerp in 1996) fans of the musical flocked together in Oostend , ‘the Queen of the Belgian coast’.
Most fans were very impressed by the quality performance given by the relatively young cast that received a standing ovation after every single show.
The cast and crew had a great time in and around ‘Kursaal’, one of few theatres in the world that is situated right on the beach
