The remarkable trio of Fred Penner, Jay Brazeau and Kim Selody have joined together to create a brand new play. Based on the song Fred made universally famous, this fanciful tale explores conflicting wishes – wanting a mischievous cat to go away versus wishing the affectionate feline would come back. In the play, a merry band of musicians help their grumpy neighbour Mr. Johnson and his curious cat negotiate a way to live together. Fantastical feline fun, first-rate performances and rockin' music make this a show you and your children won’t want to miss!
