Selections from “Cats”

Andrew Lloyd Webber, composer

Selections from “Cats” by Andrew Lloyd Webber, features memorable selections from this beloved musical based on poems in Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot. Webber notes that “very luckily Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats contains verses that are extraordinarily musical; they have rhythms that are very much their own.” Featured songs from the musical include “Skimbleshanks: The Railway Cat,” “The Old Gumbie Cat,” “Macavity: The Mystery Cat,” and “Memory.”
