Webber warns Broadway in crisis as Cats revival closes early
Andrew Lloyd Webber warned that Broadway is in danger after Cats: The Jellicle Ball closed early, citing skyrocketing production costs and a lack of opportunities for daring new work. He urged theatre owners, unions and producers to unite to save Broadway, noting the industry’s reliance on aging hits and the four‑month run of his Cats revival—opened in April, won three Tony Awards, and concludes August 8.
