A two person CATS with Janet Hubert and the cat from the Paula Abdul video. Needless to say, the cat will appear via projection. Paula Abdul may also appear, but only because who can be bothered extracting the cat on its own from the video. Be prepared for a LOT of the same choreography.

Oh, and instead of Grizabella exiting on the tire, a slingshot will send an effigy of Will Smith sailing over the audience.
