We finally got around to watching CATS, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical about a late-night gathering of felines. When the video version was shown on PBS last week, we recorded it, and we watched it yesterday evening. It was the first time Honey and I had seen the show.
It’s not like there haven’t been other opportunities – CATS premiered in London in 1981, and on Broadway a year later. At one time the longest-running show on Broadway, it was surpassed in 2006 by Phantom of the Opera, another Webber show.
Like Grizabella the Glamour Cat, the play refuses to die – or at least continues to be reincarnated. According to the UK rag, the Mirror, Nicole Sherzinger has been spotted at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home studying strays for her role as Grizabella. She’ll be starring in a London revival scheduled to open next month.
And by the way, yes, we enjoyed it. In fact, we thought it was fabulous.
