Kelliann DeCarlo is coming home in style. The local kid who grew seeing shows at State Theatre New Jersey and even graced its stage through a Plays in the Park program, is returning as a cast member in the production of “Cats” that currently on tour across North America.

It has been an incredible journey that has taken DeCarlo from community theater here in Central New Jersey to being part of a show that has been seen by an estimated 75 million people since debuting on Broadway in 1982 with music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
