Musicals have become one of the most extravagant forms of entertainment around. Certainly one of
the most popular in recent years is Cats, a musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Webber is the
incredibly successful composer behind many famous musicals, and Cats stands as one of the most
famous. Cats is based on a book of poems by T.S. Eliot. The poems are fun and playful, and less
intellectual and serious than the majority of Eliot's works. Cats was first performed in London in 1981,
and had its final performance in 2002, hence the longest running musical at the time. It had nearly nine
thousand performances. It was also performed on Broadway, starting in 1982, and was the
longest-running musical in Broadway history until this record was broken by another of Webber's
musicals, The Phantom of the Opera. Cats is essentially a musical fantasy. The human actors dress in
elaborate cat costumes, and its various characters are introduced through songs. The story line is quite
minimal, and not much happens. The main focus of the play is the characters themselves, and through
the songs they share their personalities and their stories. The song Memory was particularly popular, and
is often played outside of the Cats musical.
【題組】30.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
(A) The first performance of Cats was in England.
(B) Webber has become rich thanks to his successful musicals.
(C) The musical Cats is not very realistic.
(D) One of the songs from Cats is quite famous outside of the play.
