In 1982, CATS opened at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City and became the longest running musical on Broadway in 1997.   In October of 1991 CATS became the longest continuously touring show in American Theatre history. Five continents, 26 countries, over eight and a half million audience members and twenty five years later, CATS is still America's most loved family musical. Celebrating 25 years, CATS is still revolutionary and awe inspiring.}
