Produced by Troika Entertainment with original direction by Trevor Nunn and choreography by Gillian Lynne, CATS has been credited with initiating the British invasion of Broadway. On May 11, 1981, CATS opened at the New London Theatre in the West End. Eight years and 3,358 performances later, CATS became the longest running musical in the history of British theater closing on its 21st birthday (May 11, 2002.)
In 1982, CATS opened at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City and continued to live up to its motto "Now and Forever." On June 19, 1997, CATS became the longest running musical on Broadway and continued its recordbreaking 18 year run until September 10, 2000. The national tour of CATS recently celebrated its 25th Anniversary.
