FAMOUS FAMILY: The Kardashians are coming to Broadway
But, it's not as you think.
The new Kardashian musical has a slight twist – they're all cats.
Yes, Katdashians! Break the Musical! is a mega mash-up of the award-winning Cats musical and the life of one of the world's most famous families.

KAT-DASHIANS: The feline equivalent of the famous family
Sorry, no Nicole Scherzinger in this one.
Kim, Kourtney, Khloé and Rob Katdashian team up for a feline appearance.
And Catlyn Jenner is there too, played by a transgender actor.
While Kris, Kylie and Kendall Jenner also appear – sadly, they don't have cat names.

MOGULS: Musicals, merchandise, magazines – what next?
The tale revolves around a family of internet famous cats torn apart by family and as they sing and dance their ways through life – sound familiar?
However, the unauthorised musical has caused some trouble with Cats co-creator Andrew Lloyd Webber who is not happy with it's likeness.
With Katdashians standing accused of pinching songs from long-running musical.
And according to reports, Andrew getting his legal wigs involved and is claiming damages.

MEOW: Catlyn Jenner makes an appearance
Thankfully, the creators of the show have admitted that they will be chopping any parody info.
A representative for Andrew’s Really Useful Group said: "We are pleased that the producers of The Katdashians are cooperating in removing copyrighted material from their show.
"If you want to hear Memory [a song in Cats] live this summer, it looks like you’ll have to go to Broadway, but it won’t be performed by a 'Katdashian', whatever that is."
Meow.
