Stepping into a major role was just the cat’s meow for Joseph London. The Chicago native joined the cast of a North American touring production of Cats about five weeks ago.

“It’s a little daunting, but it’s so wonderful to have the chance to step into something like that and have the opportunity to give my take on it and what I have to offer to it. It’s such a wonderful role.” READ THE FULL ARTICLE
REVIEWS “CATS”
“In this cast, standouts include sweet, low-pitched Joseph London as Old Deuteronomy.” – Hap Erstein, Palm Beach Pulse
“Old Deuteronomy (Joseph London), is much like a wise, old grandfather figure that can be found in most family units. London’s Old Deuteronomy was very believable as the CATS displayed acts of affection and respect.” – Denise Harper, Atlanta Performing Arts Examiner
“The Jellicles await the arrival of their leader Old Deuteronomy (Joseph London) who will choose which of the cats will journey tonight to the Heavyside Layer — a kind of kitty heaven.” – Joanne Fox, Sioux City Journal
“I found it delightful that during intermission Old Deuteronomy (Joseph London) just remained on stage and continued to mimic the slight movements cat make when they are comfortably settled in for a ‘sit’. It was very clever and very subtle.” – Jean Gabler, TC Daily Planet
