My grandson is participating in a rendition of 'Cats' at his elementary school and I wanted the book to show him how productions like 'Cats' are based on literature. The product was delivered in perfect condition in a very timely manner. In this case he was thrilled to be able to read the original poems and then see how they are staged for an audience. I would recommend this to anyone.
This is a must have for anyone who loves the broadway musical "Cats". Totally delightful.
If you love cats (the critters) you'll want to read this book. Let's give full credit to Mr. Mistofflees, Mungo Jerry, and Rumpleteaser all moved effortlessly from page to stage with no changes. I am, of course, talking about Cats. If you like poetry, you should read this book. If you loved Cats (the show) you need to read this book. Most of the poems went directly into the show without any change whatever in their wording, and only three songs were added. If you like dogs, read the battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles.
Webber, It took a musical genius to do that, and one of the added songs, Memories, could stand alone as a masterpiece in any company, but most of the delight of the show comes from the wonderful feline characters created in this book.Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Gus the theatre cat, Spindleshanks, Bustipher Brown, McCavity, Mr. I had read this book before and loved it, but when I met Boris, a real, live version of Rum Tum Tugger, I had to buy a copy to show his owner.It is amazing how little had to be done to turn these poems into a great musical comedy. It's not expensive, so get it to read to your children, but read it for yourself first. That has to be some sort of record. (You can skip over the part about the intervention of the great rumpus cat).It was written for his godchildren, but it's a great read for everyone.
Great book for any cat loverauthor of "Hobo Finds A Home"
Read the book if you want to better understand the acts of the play CATs
