What's New Pussycat? - 2017 - London History , Info & More

Written by Tony winner Joe DiPietro (MEMPHIS, ALL SHOOK UP), the show, which features Tom Jones' beloved tunes, tells the story of the fictional character of the same name from Henry Fielding's 1749 comic novel, "The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling." In the show, Fielding's Tom Jones is now a singer from '60s London who resembles the iconic pop star. Says producer Flody Suarez, "There may be a little confusion. But believe me, it all makes sense and ties up very neatly."
