Inspired by T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, Cats had at one point become Broadway’s longest-running musical. The Broadway version of Cats is the brainchild of acclaimed award-winning musical composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and has debuted in thousands of theaters across the world. Cats has been seen by millions of theater fans in over 20 different variations of the play in different languages. From the first “Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats” to the last “Ad-dressing of Cats,” Cats keeps audiences’ eyes fixated on the stage.
Cats starts out with an introduction of the Jellicle tribe, that has come together to await the appearance of Old Deuteronomy, who will pick one of the Cats to go to Heavyside Layer, where they will be reborn. Certain cats begin to introduce themselves to the audience, but trouble is soon caused by the villainous Macavity. Macavity and his henchmen are up to no good as they try to sabotage the Jellicle tribe’s reunion. The ending is packed with excitement as the Jellicle tribe fights the Macavity, and Old Deuteronomy picks one Cat to embark on the journey of a lifetime.
Memorable characters such as Grizabella and “The Rum Tum Tugger” will live on in viewers’ minds long after the curtain closes. However, the end of Cats’ 18-year stint on Broadway doesn’t mean it’s too late for you to watch this spectacular play. In 2008, a national tour of Cats commenced and the cast began making appearances at the most renowned theaters across America. With a collection of Tony awards, which include Best Musical and Best Original score, Cats has become a household name.
Undoubtedly, Cats is one of Broadway’s priceless gems. Cats has entertained generations of theater fans and continues to do so today. The touching tales of our feline friends will have audiences laughing and crying along with the characters and eagerly anticipating the next plot twist.
