Cats is an award-winning musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot.
A true musical theatre phenomenon, CATS opened in London on May 11, 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. Londons success was matched on Broadway where it ran for just over 18 years. CATS tells the story of the annual gathering of Jellicle Cats.
CATS longevity is due in large part to its wonderful music, highlighted by the song that has become a standard hit Memory.
The show has been performed around the world in numerous productions and has been translated into more than ten languages, including Japanese, German, (three versions for Germany , Austria and Switzerland), Hungarian, Norwegian, Finnish, Dutch, Swedish, French, Spanish (two versions for Mexico and Argentina) and Italian. The Swiss production required a bilingual cast who performed in German and English on alternate nights. The title of the show has rarely been translated, The Mexican producers did a survey as to whether the Mexican audience would like their production to be called Gatos - the response in favour of keeping the English original was unanimous.
