Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the producer who helped spark the British Invasion of Broadway in the 1980s by bringing London productions like Cats and Les Misérables to New York.
Option 1: Hal Prince — A legendary Broadway figure, but his prominence centers on many productions and revivals in different eras; he is not the producer most closely associated with the 1980s British Invasion shows Cats and Les Misérables.
Option 2: Cameron Mackintosh — This is the name most closely tied to bringing successful London repertoire to Broadway during the 1980s, notably Cats (1982) and Les Misérables (1985), making him the quintessential figure connected with the British Invasion of that period.
Option 3: David Merrick — A towering Broadway producer, primarily influential in earlier decades (mid-20th century) rather than the 1980s British exchange; his signature successes differ from the Cats/Les Misérables linkage.
Option 4: George Abbott — An important Broadway contributor from earlier decades, whose era and projects do not align with the 1980s British import wave described here.
Across these options, the pair of shows cited—Cats and Les Misérables—are historically and vocally associated with Cameron Mackintosh, who orchestrated their transfer to Broadway from London, defining that era of the British Invasion on Broadway.

This producer played a key role in the "British Invasion" of Broadway in the 1980s, bringing shows like Cats and Les Miserables to New York from London.
