Theatre Under the Stars is featuring two Broadway productions on stage at Stanley Park’s Malkin Bowl this summer, with Cats opening on Wednesday, July 10 (previews July 5 and 6) and School of Rock set to begin its run on Thursday, July 11 (previews July 7 and 8). Both productions feature music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Cats, first presented as a song cycle in 1980, is one of the longest-running musicals in Broadway and London’s West End history. School of Rock, adapted from the 2003 film starring Jack Black, opened on Broadway in 2015 with an original score by Lloyd Webber. The shows will alternate until Aug. 24.

Throughout the summer there will be special theme nights, including four dates where the TUTS house band performs a concert prior to the School of Rock presentation on July 13, July 27, Aug. 4 and Aug. 24.
