Hear 'Memory' like never before! In The Ghostlight Series, CATS cast member Jessica Hendy and lifelong friend and cellist Jacob Yates strip down the powerful ballad in a brand new arrangement.

Jessica and Jacob are longtime friends and collaborators, both CCM graduates. Jessica's Broadway credits include CATS (Original Production), AIDA, AMOUR, and CATS Revival. Jacob is a Music Director and Cellist that subs for Wicked, Les Mis and Spring Awakening. "We wanted to strip down Memory, to it's bones. I was inspired one night leaving the theatre late and walking across the stage with only the ghost light lighting the way, I stopped mid stage, looked out into the vast darkness of the theatre and thought what a magical thing it would be to sing with only just the ghost light. That never happens. I called Jacob, told him my idea and we got to work right away." Jessica Hendy is currently the Understudy to the role "Gizabella" in CATS. She is scheduled to play "Grizabella" this week, all shows from Tuesday Nov 15th thru Sunday Nov 20th Tickets can be purchased at catsthemusical.com.
