The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats is returning to Broadway, giving the impresario three concurrent productions in the Big Apple, alongside The Phantom of the Opera and the recently opened School of Rock: The Musical.
The original Cats production ran for 18 years after opening at the Winter Garden Theatre in 1982. It returns to the Neil Simon Theatre in July, ahead of opening night on 2 August 2016.
Originally directed by Trevor Nunn, Cats won seven Tony awards, including Best Musical. It closed on 10 September 2000.
