Webber's CATS
Posted: Mon Dec 20, 2004 4:40 pm
So has anyone here read TS Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats? My parents used to read the poems in there as bedtime stories when I was very young. My mom had me read it again before we went to go see CATS when it was out in Arizona years ago.
I'm watching the two DVD set right now that I bought a few years ago when it came out. My mom got to dance with the Rum Tum Tugger. God, that was hilarious.
I'd have to say that my favorite Jellicle cat out of all of them is probably either Grizabella or Mr. Mistofelees.
If you haven't seen the show, if it's ever travelling out by you, grab a ticket. It's a great show.
I remember having to bring a pack of tissues with me since the song Memory ALWAYS makes me cry. My mom used to play it on the piano and even before I knew the words, I always thought it was a sad song. It never really helped that my mom always wound up playing it right after one of our cats had to be put to sleep. To this day, if I hear the first bar of that song, I just cry.
Anyone ever read the poems or seen the show and if so, which is your favorite cat?
