Musicals have become one of the most extravagant forms of entertainment around. Certainly one ofthe most popular in recent years is Cats, a musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Webber is theincredibly successful composer behind many famous musicals, and Cats stands as one of the mostfamous. Cats is based on a book of poems by T.S. Eliot. The poems are fun and playful, and lessintellectual and serious than the majority of Eliot's works. Cats was first performed in London in 1981,and had its final performance in 2002, hence the longest running musical at the time. It had nearly ninethousand performances. It was also performed on Broadway, starting in 1982, and was thelongest-running musical in Broadway history until this record was broken by another of Webber'smusicals, The Phantom of the Opera. Cats is essentially a musical fantasy. The human actors dress inelaborate cat costumes, and its various characters are introduced through songs. The story line is quiteminimal, and not much happens. The main focus of the play is the characters themselves, and throughthe songs they share their personalities and their stories. The song Memory was particularly popular, andis often played outside of the Cats musical.
