Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

History may well describe Cats as one of the most successful works in the field of 20th-century musical theatre, despite the fact that arty types condemn the show for its crass populism and deride Andrew Lloyd-Webber for, well, being him. Ignore the statistics and the apparently uncool nature of the whole enterprise, however, and there are heartening--and rock-solid--musical and literary reasons for the show's extraordinary vitality. Lloyd-Webber's talents as a composer lie in his wide-ranging appreciation of the forms and sub-genres of both current and historical popular music. Thus, when the Jellicle Cats are presented as a gospel choir, the Rum Tum Tugger is modelled on a pelvis-thrusting rock & roll reprobate, Mungojerry and Rumpleteazer are a knockabout music-hall duo and Jennyanydots metamorphoses into Ginger Rogers, we know exactly where Lloyd-Webber's coming from even if we don't know we know, almost to the extent that the entire history of popular music could be reconstructed from this single work. T.S. Eliot's verse, quite apart from its inherent musicality, offers a richness of language which is clearly as inspiring to the cast as to the composer. --Roger Thomas

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but missing some of the best songs!, 9 Mar 2008
This review is from: Highlights From Cats (Audio CD)
This CD is really good for people who haven't really seen "Cats" and are looking for a taster of the music, but there are so many amazing songs missing! It really is worth paying a little more money for the full version, and the DVD is fantastic too.
It is an original cast recording, so the songs are great. I mean, its cats! all the songs are great! they all deserve to be on this CD!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cats music - but not what I'd hoped., 19 Sep 2010

This review is from: Highlights From Cats (Audio CD)
I was disappointed to find that the cast singing on this soundtrack was not the same cast on the 1998 "Cats" DVD. In my opinion the DVD cast was suberb and the singers in this CD have little 'grandeur' and do not remind me of the greatness of the musical. For example, John Partridge was fantastic in the DVD - why have they not used him in this?! Needless to say, I'm not impressed and recommend that if someone wants to hear the Cats music they simply watch the DVD or go to the theatre! This version is seriously sub-par to my expectations.
