From the stage of the Broadhurst Theatre, “Tempress” Chasity Moore, who made history as the first trans woman to play the iconic role of ‘Grizabella,’ delivered the news that CATS: The Jellicle Ball, the wildly acclaimed Tony Award-winning musical revival, will record a cast album to be released this winter on Atlantic Records.

The album will be recorded by the full company of CATS: The Jellicle Ball and will be produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Alana da Fonseca. Dates and pre-order information for the album will be announced at a later date.
