| CATS America's Favorite Family Musical The Only Production in North America is Back October 12 - 17, 2004 The show that revolutionized musical theatre is coming to Memorial Auditorium at the BTI Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh for eight performances. Tickets are on sale now at the BTI Center box office and all Ticketmaster locations. On May 11, 1981, CATS opened at the New London Theatre in the West End, where it is still running. Eight years later it celebrated its first important milestone: after 3,358 performances, CATS became the longest running musical in the history of British theatre. In 1982 CATS opened at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City an continued to live up to its motto "Now and Forever." On June 19, 1997, CATS became the longest running musical on Broadway. It ended its 18 year run on September 10, 2000. Based on T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, and with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, CATS won seven 1983 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Lighting, and Best Costumes. Now that it's been seen by millions of audience members, it is time to introduce CATS to a new generation. Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement. Suddenly an explosion of music and light reveals a larger than life junkyard. Probing car lights tear across the darkened landscape of bottles and boxes, briefly catching the darting image of a running feline. Tonight is the one special night each year when the tribe of Jellicle Cats reunites to celebrate who they are. This is the story of CATS. |
