Product description
Product Description
Highlights from the UK cast. Universal.
Amazon.co.uk
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
