Editorial Reviews
Andrew Lloyd Webber's epic Cats takes its characters from T.S. Eliot's book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. Though the book contains no narrative structure, Webber has created one, although what drew audiences to the theater in droves was the charm of the feline characters, not the tale of what happens to them. The score is rather fetching but simple, with moments of elegance, as in the now-standard "Memory." The longest-running musical of its time, Cats is at times overrated, but as a whole it retains the charm that originally attracted audiences. This selections disc contains only the highlights, so for those who want only one or two songs from the score, this would be the way to go. For those who want the complete experience, the full two-disc collection is recommended. Sarah Erlewine, All Music Guide
