I don’t know what the book says, but from practical experience with both possums and cats, they don’t like each other and are a danger to each others young.

somehwere around here i’ve got old possum’s book of practical cats, plus i’ve seen cats in person, both of which are/were terrific, but i can’t remember a lick of music from that one [words, yes; cats, yes].

I know he’s an (expletive deleted) Tory, but at least we could spell his name correctly. His music is frequently cloying, but better than average for recent composers of musicals.

“as for evita, i remember that one song all the way from “don’t cry…” to “…argentina” and a few scattered [musical] phrases, but that’s about it.” – hipparchia

Try two words: “for me”. I had to listen to that (another expletive deleted) musical over and over again one summer in my job at a university music library, while the library was closed and we all did cataloging work. The other employees and student help loved it. I liked it well enough the FIRST time…

The one work by Webber that I genuinely enjoy is Cats. I even have a videotape. Of course, T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book… has nothing to do with how much I enjoy it; oh, no…

given eva’s untimely end, cristina may be better off with her own story anyway, even if it is her husband’s to some extent. interesting that the two of them can keep alternating presidencies ad infinitum, or at least until the voters tire of them.

as for evita, i remember that one song all the way from “don’t cry…” to “…argentina” and a few scattered [musical] phrases, but that’s about it.

the sound of music i could sing [but will spare you] most of, by heart, having seen the whole thing many, many times. still, i never did figure out which song y’all were talking about.

the mere mention of either tim rice or andrew lloyd weber conjures up almost the entire album jesus christ superstar in my head; words, music, the disitnct voices of each of the soloists [and the cover art too].
