Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of T.S. Eliot's poems may not have become Broadway's longest-running musical without the original cast to begin the raves. Which is why every aficionado of this theatrical classic will tell you that this is the one you have to own (although they'll probably tell you that you need the import Original London Cast album as well, the show having originated on London's West End and all). But this is the one with Betty Buckley singing "Memory"--the song that turned her into a star--and the two discs are appropriate for the musical that helped set off Broadway's "operatic" phase. The show is now also available--in its entirety--as a home video, but the music still stands on its own, though some cynics have wondered why so much music only produced one hit standard. --Bill Holdship

Customer Reviews

CAT attack!
The greatest musical of all time is now the best sound track of all time! Fans of CATS the musical will definately love the soundtrack, espeically those who were privaleged enough to see the original cast in action. Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS will forever be immortalized with the CATS soundtrack!

A Great Musical
This is a Great musical. It has great fun songs, but it also has some really good ballads. It is my fourth favorite musical.(1st:The Phantom of the opera, 2nd:Wicked, 3rd:Evita, 4th:Cats) Another Great musical from Andrew Llyod Webber!

Excellent!
I bought the CD for my granddaughter's birthday. She had just seen the play but was unable to get the CD. Needless to say she was very happy to now have the CD as a keepsake. Fast and timely delivery, as always, with Amazon!
