Crazy, man – crazy! This charming, smooth, and adventurous stage adaptation is a celebration of Disney’s exploration into mid-century jazz in Paris.

With the unlikely help of a jazz-loving group of Alley Cats, will the cats find their way home? Adapted especially for young performers, this musical includes favorite songs such as “Thomas O’Malley Cat,” “The Aristocats,” and “Ev’rybody Wants to Be a Cat.” This production of The Aristocats KIDS is sure to keep your toes (and paws) tapping!
