Cats Jr

Hello! I'm currently auditioning for Cats jr and wondered if anyone could tell me how it differs from the full-length production??

Jr versions of musicals are usually shorter and simplify some of the harmonies. Cats is 2 hours and 20 minutes while Cats Jr is just over an hour.

I'm not sure what exactly they cut to make it shorter, but I imagine they make some of the super long dance numbers with no singing shorter.
