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 over 8,250,000 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 lights 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."
