On October 7, 1982 Cats the Andrew Lloyd Webber scored musical (with T.S. Eliot lyrics) directed by Trevor Nunn officially leaped onto Broadway. The musical's signature choreography by the late great Gillian Lynne showcased the talents of extraordinary Broadway dancers over its nearly 18 year run - a who's who of musical theatre's best. The show also shown a spotlight on some of Broadway's great leading ladies taking on the role of Grizabella including original Betty Buckley, Laurie Beechman, Liz Callaway and Lillias White.
