Cats

Based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, a collection of poems by T.S. Eliot, Cats--which contains no spoken dialogue--revolves around the antics of such feline characters as Old Deuteronomy, Jennyanydots, Mr. Mistoffelees, Rum Tum Tugger, Skimbleshanks, Griddlebone, and Grizabella who sings the hit song "Memory" before she ascends to cats' heaven at play's end. Originally produced at the New London Theatre on May 11, 1981, Cats began its New York run at the Winter Garden Theatre on October 7, 1982 and became Broadway’s longest running show after nearly 18 years and a record 7,485 performances.
