The original sentence (answer A) is incorrect because it sounds as if the 7485th performance of Cats was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The modifier "written by A.L.Webber" should be directly next to the subject "the Broadway musical Cats."
Answers B and C are also incorrect because they contain the original mistake.
Answer D does not contain the original problem with the wrongly formulated subject and dangling modifier but the form "to include" is incorrect. The right form would be "including" or "that include," as proposed in the prior answers.
Answer E is CORRECT.

for that very same reason i chose A. i suppose "Broadway musical cats" is a group that conducts shows/performances and sentence says that a particular performance of the group was scripted/written by Webber. based on that logic E does not make sense.

what is wrong in my interpretation
