I added this to my TBR before I realised it contained the lyrics to the musical, "Cats". I have thus far managed to avoid having ever seen Cats, or heard more than a song or two of the soundtrack. Believe me - that's quite the claim to fame when you consider the era I grew up in! I'm not sure I'm re...

I love the musical Cats, so thought I ought to read the original poems. It's practically impossible to distinguish one from the other, because Webber has taken the poems almost word for word - meaning I cannot read any of them without hearing the songs in my head.
