A production that’s purr-fect for the whole family
The Academy of the Company Theatre (A.C.T.) presents Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS, based on the beloved Disney animated film. Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS is directed by Johnny Nichols, Jr., musically directed by Melissa Carubia, and choreographed by John Crampton.
Seven Hingham youth will be appearing in the show. Graeme Baker will play Edgar, Izzie Donnelly will play Scat Cat, Elisw Fickes will play Thomas O'Malley, Alexa Harris will play Madame/SSoise, Silvia Thompson will play Marie, Lilly Weymouth will play Napoleon and Roland Schulze will play Roquefort.
Featuring a jazzy, upbeat score, The Aristocats KIDS is a non-stop thrill ride of feline fun. Set in the heart of Paris, the kind and eccentric millionairess, Madame Adelaide Bonfamille, leaves her entire estate to her high-society cat, Duchess, and her three little kittens. When Madame’s greedy and jealous butler Edgar catnaps and abandons the upper-crust felines in the countryside, laughs and adventures ensue. Now it’s up to rough-and-tumble alley cat, Thomas O’Malley, and his band of swingin’ jazz cats to save the day!
“The Aristocats KIDS features a cast of cool cats and kittens bringing all of the action, adventure, singing, and dancing from the classic animated film to life,” said Melissa Carubia, A.C.T.’s Director of Education. “Kids of all ages will find the performances of our talented young actors to be the cat’s meow.”
The Aristocats KIDS opens Friday, November 12, and runs through Sunday, November 14. There are evening and matinée performances available. General admission tickets are $25. Premium seating is available for $30. Using code CATS, a discounted family rate (when purchasing 4 or more tickets) is available!
