    Description

    Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Cats
    debuted on Broadway on 7 October 1982 at the Winter Garden Theatre with a record-breaking .2 million in ticket pre-sales.  Most of the original creative team remained, with Martin Levan replacing Jacob as the sound designer and Stanley Lebowsky replacing Rabinowitz as music director. The musical was co-produced by the original London production team, along with David Geffen and The Shubert Organization.  It was the most expensive Broadway show ever mounted at the time with a production cost of .5 million, though it recouped its investment in less than 10 months.   On 19 June 1997,
    Cats
    overtook
    A Chorus Line
    to become the longest-running show in Broadway history with 6,138 performances.   At the time, the musical was found to have had an economic impact of .12 billion on New York City and had generated the most theatrical jobs of any single entity in Broadway history.
    A June closing date was announced in early 2000 but was subsequently pushed back after a resulting surge in ticket sales.  The show closed on 10 September 2000 after a total of 15 previews and 7,485 performances.
    One actress, Marlene Danielle, performed in the Broadway production for its entire 18-year run.   Its Broadway-run record was surpassed on 9 January 2006 by
    The Phantom of the Opera
    , and
    Cats
    remains Broadway's fourth-longest-running show of all time. Overall, the original Broadway production grossed approximately 8 million in ticket sales.
