About The Cat's Pyjamas

The Cat's Pyjamas is an original musical that asks the age-old question, what are you made of?


Set in the bustling fashion-mad metropolis of Mouserchusettes, The Cat’s Pyjamas follows the story of a cat named Cleo Pawlioni, a fashion designer renowned for making Pyjamas of the highest quality. When Cleo and her design team discover that someone has been stealing her designs and using them to create inferior counterfeits, she enlists the help of Spike McClaw, the most fearless private eye in the city.


Meanwhile, in this world of high fashion where every Top Cat wears the latest PJ’s, the street-wise investigative reporter Felicity Whiskers is about to break the biggest story of her career—if only she didn’t have to report on the upcoming Feline Fashion Festival! Teaming up to follow the clues, Spike and Felicity set out on an adventure that unravels more than just a few hemlines!


Enlisting the help of the Alley Cats, the lowest of Mouserchusettes cat-kind who long to be the Top Cats in town, the two unwilling allies sift from the top to the bottom of the town to find the truth. Who is the mysterious Copy-Cat and will they be stopped before Cleo unveils her latest designs at the festival? 


The Cat’s Pyjamas encourages us all to ‘weave our lives with threads that will count’.
