Mamie Parris, who currently plays Grizabella in the Broadway revival of Cats at the Neil Simon Theatre, can be seen belting out the musical’s showstopper, Andrew Lloyd Webber's “Memory,” in new footage recently released by the production.

Watch Parris perform the hit song below:

Parris succeeded pop singer Leona Lewis, who departed the production October 9. Parris was recently seen in another Lloyd Webber musical, School of Rock, at the Winter Garden.

Based on Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the original Broadway production of Cats opened in 1982 at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre (currently home to Lloyd Webber’s School of Rock – The Musical), where it ran for 7,485 performances and 18 years. The musical was originally produced on Broadway by Cameron Mackintosh, The Really Useful Company Limited, David Geffen and The Shubert Organization.

The creative team for the new Broadway production includes John Napier (scenic and costume design), Natasha Katz (lighting design), and Mick Potter (sound design), with additional choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, based on the original choreography by Gillian Lynne, and direction by Trevor Nunn.

This new production of Cats is licensed by The Really Useful Group. Nina Lannan serves as executive producer.
