Original CATS Casts

These are the casts for the original London and Broadway productions. In the London production Judi Dench was meant to be playing Jennyanydots and Grizabella snapped her Achilies tendon and so had to sacrifice her roles. In the first performance she sang Memory as a broken down cat, but not as Grizabella.
