Sorry if this doesn't belong on this board but I figured there might be people that would be interested in this and might not have seen the story since there is basically NO ACTIVITY on the West End board.

Didn’t this happen to the Broadway production not too long ago?

Damn! And a month ago a tiny theatre, the Jermyn Street Theatre, was flooded in a different part of the West End. I'm now worried that London theatres physically won't survive being alone all this time.

Wasn't it Cats at the Neil Simon?

Yes.  They had to do a show with some modified costumes.

God forgive me, but the visual of a bunch of catpeople freaking out, meowing, running around and climbing on things to avoid getting wet Made me LOL.
