Get ready for a rockin’ good time as Northwest Children’s Theater (NWCT) brings back its wildly popular live rock musical, Pete the Cat, for a brand-new run at The Judy in downtown Portland. Running from January 31 through February 15, 2026 this encore production follows last year’s near sell-out success and features the original cast returning to the stage.
Based on the beloved “Pete the Cat” book series, the musical celebrates the playful energy, creativity, and cool attitude of the ever-chill cat Pete, along with his best buddy Jimmy. As Pete helps Jimmy embrace the power of imagination, families will experience a joyful, visually vibrant show that highlights the whimsical world of Pete the Cat.
