The first-ever Broadway revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic musical, Cats, returned to the Neil Simon Theatre last week, and the though famous felines ruled Broadway for years before now, people are still asking - what's a jellicle cat? Randy Rainbow takes to the streets to find out!

Composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and based on T.S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats," the original Broadway production opened in 1982 at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre (currently home to Lloyd Webber's newest hit, School of Rock - The Musical), where it ran for 7,485 performances and 18 years. CATS was originally produced on Broadway by Cameron Mackintosh, The Really Useful Company Limited, David Geffen, and The Shubert Organization.
