A Brief History of Cats

CATS began, improbably, as a set of poems. Andrew Lloyd Webber first set T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats to music as a personal project in the late 1970s, with no clear plan for a full show. Director Trevor Nunn and choreographer Gillian Lynne helped shape those songs into a fully realised musical, adding the now-iconic "Memory" - written by Andrew with lyrics adapted by Nunn - to give the show its emotional core. CATS opened at the New London Theatre in the West End in 1981, staged in the round with the audience seated amid a junkyard set.

It became an instant sensation, running for 21 years and nearly 9,000 performances, and won the Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Musical. The show crossed to Broadway in 1983, where it won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and ran for 18 years - at the time, the longest-running production in Broadway history. Since then, CATS has been staged in more than 50 countries and translated into over 20 languages, seen by tens of millions of people worldwide, and it remains one of the defining musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s career.

News & Features

The Jellicles are heading to your playlists today.

The next single from the CATS: The Jellicle Ball cast album is out now: “Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer”, performed by Jonathan Burke and Dava Huesca. The full album arrives on 12 February 2027, with pre-orders open now.

Recorded by the full company and produced by Alana da Fonseca and Andrew Lloyd Webber, the album captures the production that lit up Broadway this year. Following it’s opening at the Broadhurst Theatre in April, the revival became the best-reviewed musical of the season, with nine Tony nominations and three wins for Best Direction of a Musical, Best Choreography and Best Costume Design of a Musical.

For Andrew Lloyd Webber, this album is very special. “Not only does the Jellicle cast give fabulous performances but the joy that radiated from the stage leaps out totally intact,” he says. “This album is simply one of the best that any of my shows has been lucky enough to have had in my sixty plus year career in musicals.”

Da Fonseca, who first saw CATS on Broadway as a child, calls this incarnation “a groundbreaking love letter to identity, particularly Black and brown queer identity”. It’s a fresh way to hear music that has been loved for more than four decades.

CATS: The Jellicle Ball is released through Atlantic Records and is available to pre-order now.
