Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats first opened at the New London Theatre in 1981 and is based on TS Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.

The show’s original creative team are also the brains behind today’s production – director Trevor Nunn, associate director and choreographer Gillian Lynne, designer John Napier and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.
