Rum Tum Tugger, the cool cat of rock (Paul Nicholas), tells the story of magical Mr. Mistoffelees (Royal Ballet Dancer Wayne Sleep), who displays twisting, spiraling, pirouetting feats of legerdepied. Finally, Old Deuteronomy bestows a rare gift on the down-and-out Grizabella: a tenth life. The stage becomes misty, an otherworldly light...
