— -- “Cats,” the legendary musical that was once the longest-running show on Broadway, has begun a new run at the Neil Simon Theatre. The revival is bursting with the music and dances ...

A revival of the record-breaking show opened yesterday at the Neil Simon Theater. When it first debuted in 1982, long before it became a punchline, Cats was the show to see.

At this peak, his plays were popular in a "Hamilton" sort of way, but that didn't necessarily earn Neil Simon respect among theater writers.
