Let the Memory Live Again! Tickets for Cats' Broadway Return Now on Sale

Want to attend the Jellicle Ball again? Here’s your chance: Tickets are now available for the Broadway return of Cats. Performances begin on July 14 at the Neil Simon Theatre, where the meowsical (sorry) will open officially on August 2.

Cats, featuring a score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by T.S. Eliot, Trevor Nunn and Richard Stilgoe, ran for 21 years in London and 18 years on Broadway. It won seven Tony Awards in 1983, including Best Musical. This production will be the first Main Stem revival of the tuner.

Based on Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, the musical tells the story of the Jellicle cats and each cat's individual quest to be selected as the lucky one who will ascend to "the Heaviside Layer."

Original director Trevor Nunn directs the staging, which will feature choreography by Hamilton’s Andy Blankenbuehler. No word yet on casting, but Lloyd Webber has spoken of his hope that Nicole Scherzinger, who was Olivier-nominated for her performance as Grizabella in the 2014 West End revival, will headline the show in New York.
