Based on the 1970 Disney Film THE ARISTOCATS
Madame’s jealous butler Edgar cat-naps Duchess and her kittens and abandons them in the Parisian countryside. What’s a cat to do? Luckily, Thomas O’Malley and his rag-tag bunch of Alley Cats come to their rescue! This feline adventure is sure to get your audiences tapping their feet to its hep, jazzy beat, which includes the Disney favorites “The Aristocats,” “Scales and Arpeggios” and “Ev’rybody Wants to Be a Cat.”
Show Cast Size: 8 principals, 9 featured roles, plus ensemble
Ways to Expand: You can add any number of Alley Cats that you like to this production to give as many students as possible an opportunity to be a part of the show.
Staging Demands: The director’s guide gives you an easy way to establish both Paris and Madame’s home by using a minimal amount of scenery.
Considerations: Disney’s Aristocats KIDS is a great show for students who like up beat music and wound enjoy playing animal characters. Either girls or boys can play most of the roles making this a perfect show for a large female cast.
Notes: May be cast from a small classroom, or include the entire student body.
