Cats first opened on Broadway in 1982, and was nominated for 11 Tony Awards, winning seven of those awards, a few being for Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Direction, which was by Trevor Nunn. Cats was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which from what I've read, he wrote based on a book of poems he read while waiting at an airport! That book was "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" by T.S. Eliot.

What most people probably associate most with the musical Cats is the song "Memory" which is sung by the character Grizabella. The lyrics to "Memory" were written by Trevor Nunn (which if you remember from the first paragraph, he was the director!) "Memory" has been covered by artists like Barbra Streisand, Barry Manilow, Celine Dion, and was even sung by Susan Boyle, the now infamous winner of Britain's Got Talent (But I'm not sure what season she won.)


The "Memory" lyrics are:

Daylight See the dew on the sunflower And a rose that is fading Roses whither away Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn I am waiting for the day . . . Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every streetlamp Seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters And the streetlamp gutters And soon it will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I musn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Burnt out ends of smoky days The stale cold smell of morning The streetlamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me It's so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me You'll understand what happiness is Look A new day has begun

You can check out a video of "Memory" being sung by Cats!
