Hit: 4 Stars
"Cats" was extremely important for its time & paved the way for many future musicals. Currently, its the longest running show in Broadway history ... thankfully, though, Mr. Webber's masterpiece, "Phantom of the Opera" will take the crown in early 2006.
Despite a talented Company (esp. Betty Buckley, Ken Page & Terrence Mann), the score has generally not aged well and seems rather trite by today's standards. However, the production's best moments are showcased nicely in this "selections" version of the classic show:
Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats
Rum Tum Tugger
Mr. Mistoffelees
Memory (THE classic!)
While the full two-cd score may be more complete, the "selections" cd (fortunately) eliminates most of the show's filler. I only wish the Overture had been included as well.
Free Music Review: On The Question Of Cats
Hit: 4 Stars
Okay, put a life long love of cats (real), with a literary love of cats (poetic, via T.S. Eliot), with a "Cat"-full of cats (on stage) and you throw in some now classic songs about our feline friends and that tells everything you need to know about this CD. Oh, except that for the life long cat-lovers out there you will know by each kind of cat mentioned in this compilation that it is probably not far removed from some cat that you nursed back to health, tripped over, got mad at, fed (in the middle of the night), groomed (at best you could) and got misty-eyed over the memory of when you heard that "Memory" song that kind of puts the whole production together. That says it all.
