Based on T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, Cats tells the story of the Jellicle cats gathering at the Jellicle Ball where their leader Old Deuteronomy chooses which of these cats go up to the "Heaviside Layer" or their version of heaven, and be reborn unto a whole new Jellicle life.
