Eva Dangca Lands Role in Classic Hit Musical

Eva Dangca, 10,  daughter of Allan and Anna Fieg Dangca of Oneonta,  has been cast in the role of cat in the all-singing,  all-dancing (no speaking) musical "Cats,"  an Orpheus Theatre production in Oneonta.

The former, long-running Broadway hit will open at Goodrich Theater on the campus of State University of New York,  College of Arts and Sciences.  In addition to a Friday afternoon show for school classes only,  tickets are now on sale for an 8 p.m. presentation Saturday,  Dec. 14,  and 2 p.m. Sunday Dec. 15.

Tickets are $15 but a block of family seats has been purchased by the family,  with Barbara and Dr. Edward Fieg,  Greg Fieg, John Roman, Diana Monaco and Bill Doyle among those expected to  attend.  Seats are still available at no cost, but must be claimed in advance.

The former Andrew Lloyd Webber production, based on "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" by T.S. Elliot tells the story of a tribe of phantom cats called the Jellicles and the night they make what is known as the "Jellicle Choice" to decide which cat will come alive.
