'This little Jellicle Cat owes a lot to her' On this day 45 years ago, Cats officially opened in the West End at the New London Theatre in 1981, now renamed to be the Gillian Lynne Theatre. Fabian Aloise, winner of this year's Best Theatre Choreographer award, honoured Gillian Lynne's legacy in his acceptance speech. #gillianlynne #choreography #evita #cats #olivierawards
