There will be a fifteen-minute intermission between acts. 

The English poet 

and playwright 

T.S. Eliot (1888- 

1965) originally 

wrote the poems 

that you hear in 

CATS as light 

verse for his godchildren 

during 

the 1930s. These 

poems were collected 

and published 

in 1939 as 

“Old Possum’s 

Book of Practical 

Cats” (‘Old Possum’ 

was a nick- 

name for Eliot given to him by Ezra Pound). 

By this time Eliot had already established 

himself as one of the most important poets 

of the 20th Century, with works such as “The 

Waste-Land,” “The Hollow Men” and “The 

Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” 

Although the whimsy of “Practical Cats” was 

something of a departure for Eliot, the collection 

proved popular and was reprinted

as early as 1940. 

Several of the poems were set to music by 

two different English composers in the 

1950s: Alan Rawsthorne and Humphrey 

Searle. Also in the 1950s, a young boy by 

the name of Andrew Lloyd Webber found 

himself enchanted by Eilot’s verse. 

Lloyd Webber set all of the poems in the 

collection to music. Recalling his earlier musical 

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNI- 

COLOR DREAM- 

COAT, Lloyd 

Webber used a 

variety of musical 

styles, including 

pop, rock, classical, 

music hall 

and opera, to 

help illustrate the 

cats’ differing 

personalities. 

The 1982 reprinting 

featured all-new 

illustrations by 

Edward Gorey.

The lyrics to the best-known song from 

CATS, “Memory,” were actually written by 

Trevor Nunn, but were inspired by an earlier 

Eliot poem, “Rhapsody on a Winter 

Night.” Additionally, the Act Two opener 

“Moments of Happiness” is from “Four Quartets,” 

written by Eliot at the outset or World 

War II. 

CATS the musical opened in London in 1981, 

followed by Broadway in 1982. It was an 

immediate 

smash, and ran 

in New York for 

18 years, becoming

About CATS 

CATS still holds the title of longest continual 

tour. 

CATS has also become an international phenomenon, 

playing in over 250 cities in 

twenty countries. It has been translated into 

ten languages, including Japanese, Dutch 

and Norwegian. Interestingly, the title itself 

was never translated for foreign productions. 

The Mexico production did a focus 

group to see if audiences would respond to 

GATOS, but it was a near-unanimous decision 

to keep the English name.

MUSICAL THEATRE WEST LEGACY SOCIETY 

If Musical Theatre West has been an important part of your life, you can help create this same experience for future 

generations by including us in your estate plans. Leaving a bequest will ensure that musical theater remains a vital part 

of the Southern California arts community. 

The Musical Theatre West Legacy Society honors individuals who, by including MTW in their long-range financial and 

estate plans, choose to create a personal legacy and help to ensure MTWÊs financial strength for future generations. Gifts 

include bequests via a will or living trust, life insurance and retirement plan assets. Future plans can include gift annuities 

and charitable trusts as well. These gifts may entitle you to an estate tax deduction equal to the amount of the gift, 

thus reducing your taxable estate. In most instances federal estate tax regulations place no limit on the amount of your 

estate tax deduction for qualifying gifts, thus encouraging bequests made to a charitable cause such as MTW. 

Whatever the size of your estate, a bequest allows you to determine how your assets will be disbursed after your lifetime. 

A charitable gift to Musical Theatre West through a bequest may also reduce probate costs and increase the assets you

CATS, Yes! As we all know, there are as many 

different kinds of cats, as there are cat lovers. 

One thing I’m sure we can all agree upon, Andrew 

Lloyd Webber’s CATS, the musical, is one 

of the most memorable musicals of all time. The 

show opened in London in 1981, and the following 

year on Broadway. CATS won the prestigious 

Tony Award for Best Musical in 1983, and went 

on to run for 18 years. CATS, has been one of 

the top requested shows on our audience surveys 

for several years. At last, Musical Theatre West 

is able to bring you our production of this wonderful 

show. Now, join us in the alley to meet 

some very interesting and different cats. We, the 

Musical Theatre West Guild, thank you for joining 

us for the second production of our 2010- 

2011, season. Let the MEMORY live again. 

On another note, let me take a moment to tell 

you about the MTW Guild, a group of dedicated 

volunteers, I am very proud to represent, who

Musical Theatre West Footlighters 

Welcome to CATS, a musical composed by Lord 

Andrew Lloyd Webber based on T. S. Eliot’s “Old 

Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.” The production has 

won many awards including the Tony Award for Best 

Musical. It has set records on Broadway and in London, 

and is now being brought to you by our own 

Musical Theatre West. Get set for a performance of 

singing, dancing and acrobatics! The Jellicle cats were 

originally depicted by Eliot as common black and 

white cats whose daytime nature is peaceful, pleasant 

and restful, but who possess an active love of nightlife. 

They like to gather at the “Jellicle Ball” and will 

be singing Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats, because 

“Jellicles are and Jellicles do” The name Jellicle cats is 

a corruption of dear little cats and comes from a 

poem by Eliot entitled “Pollicle Dogs (poor little dogs) 

and Jellicle Cats.” 

Footlighters supports Musical Theatre West by raising 

money to support the Education and Outreach Programs. 

Introducing the youth of our community to 

Musical Theater is an important addition to the well-

Footlighters membership is open to all, in support of 

Musical Theatre West. Additional information is available 

in the lobby or by calling the MTW office. We 

are a friendly group, with four luncheon meetings a 

year called Music in the Morning, where excerpts of 

each upcoming show are presented. We’d love to 

have you join us!

Musical Theatre West • 2011-2012 Season 

Carpenter Performing Arts Center, Long Beach 

Oct. 28-Nov. 13, 2011 

Welcome to the ‘60s and the world of 

big dreams, big girls and big hair! 

This high-energy and uplifting show 

based on the John Waters camp 

classic film won the 2003 Tony Award 

for Best Musical. Typical teenager 

Tracy Turnblad wants nothing more 

than to appear on Corny Collins’ 

dance show. When she gets her wish, 

she changes the face of 1960s 

Baltimore forever! 

February 10-26, 2012 

One of the all-time great musicals, 

featuring “The Impossible Dream," one 

of the all-time great standards. At the 

height of the Spanish Inquisition, author 

Miguel de Cervantes is imprisoned 

and uses the story of knight-errant 

Don Quixote to defend himself. Full 

of indelible characters and a 

beautiful Latin-tinged score, Man 

of La Mancha ran for six years on 

Broadway and won the Tony for 

Best Musical. 

June 29-July 15, 2012 

Killer rabbits, shrubbery-obsessed 

knights, angry Frenchmen throwing cows - 

It’s everything you could want in a musical! 

You don’t have to be a Python fan to 

love Spamalot -you just have to love 

musicals. “Lovingly ripped off” from their 

classic film “Monty Python and the Holy 

Grail,” this riotous send-up of 

the Arthurian legend won the 

Tony for Best Musical and 

has had millions laughing 

across the globe. 

December 9-18, 2011 

Missy, Suzy, Betty Jean and Cindy Lou 

help you ring in the holidays! 

The follow-up to the smash hit 

The Marvelous Wonderettes 

finds the girls at Harper’s 

Hardware for the 1968 

holiday party! Of course, the 

Wonderettes bring their 

signature four-part harmony 

to songs from “O Tannenbaum” 

to “Mele Kalikimaka.” 

Loads of fun for the 

whole family! 

April 13-29, 2012 

The surprise hit of our 2008- 

2009 Season returns in an all-

-minute satire on all 

things musical theater.

Forbidden Broadway ran 

for 26 years in New York!

theatres in the country.” 

-Bill Handel, KFI Radio

and excitement of live theater,

town right in your backyard!
