Rescuing CATS: The Musical That's Better Than You Think - Paperback
by Scott Miller (Author)
No matter how you approach it, Cats is so much more than a silly dance revue based on some silly poems, so much more than a punchline. Why has Cats been such a huge, longstanding commercial success around the world? Why do people see it over and over?
Cats is literally about life and death. Cats is about us. "One of Eliot's great tricks with these poems, and one of the reasons they work so well as a theatre piece, is that they all sound like nursery rhymes, but they all deal in adult themes, like death, social class, community, ego, reputation, irony, fear, desire, sexuality, empathy, memory, death. These poems and these songs are wacky enough for kids, subtextual enough for adults..." - Scott Miller, Rescuing Cats "You must remember what the greatest power in the theatre is. It has nothing to do with sets and special effects. It's what's going on in your minds, and how that affects the minds of the audience." - director Trevor Nunn, to the original Broadway cast If you already love Cats, you'll find even more to love.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
