Broadway Production/Casts

Cats originally ran on Broadway between 1982 and 2000. It would seem that, rather than regular annual or biannual cast changes, actors were employed on rolling contracts so the cast changed gradually over time. As such these lists provide a snapshot of the cast rather than a comprehensive list.
