Overview
- Producers announced onstage by Grizabella performer Chasity Moore that the company will make a cast album following an August 1 announcement at the Broadhurst Theatre.
- The full Broadway company will record the album later in August with producers Andrew Lloyd Webber and Alana da Fonseca and Atlantic Records planning a winter release, with exact dates and pre‑order details to be announced.
- The production filmed an archival performance in July and is scheduled to play its final Broadway performance on August 8 at the Broadhurst Theatre.
- The revival reframes Cats as a ballroom and drag‑ball event with vogueing‑infused choreography and updated dance‑music beats, a staging that helped it win 2026 Tonys for direction, choreography, and costume design.
- Producers have cited rising mounting and running costs for the early closure and say the cast recording and archival film will preserve the creative work and make the show accessible beyond its shortened Broadway run.
