CATS in Manila

I enjoy watching (and hearing) musicals. I love how music magically works and evokes so much emotion in its measured nature. Now, CATS is coming to Manila to let us taste and experience what the whole world has been raving about for the past 20 years plus-plus.

CATS is a musical composed by Andre Lloyd-Webber (yep, the same one that gave us the rock musical, Jesus Christ Superstar) based on T. S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." The show opened in broadway on May 11, 1981 (just a few days after I was born) and closed on September 10, 2000.

But this time, CATS is graced by my favorite Ms. Lea Salonga (I just love her in Les Miserables!)
