By A Customer

This review is from: Cats (Highlights from the 1981 Original London Cast) (Audio CD)

You should get this beautiful recording!It's the best!I might not have the Hightlights cd but I do have the compleate recording!Of course Ms. Paige gives a better interpretation of Grizabella.And Mr. Blessed is Old Dueteronemy!This is the''Dream Cast''!This recording also features the missing ''Billy McCaw''!And the original music to ''Mongojerrie and Rumpulteazer''.It also includes the original ''Addressing of Cats''!In all this is a must buy!But don't take my word for it buy it yourself and you'll see that this import is the best of the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the broadway version, January 19, 2001

This London version of CATS "blows away" the broadway version. Anyone who has listened to both will surely agree!! If you think the broadway one is better, then you don't "know" music or musical talent when you hear it. There is so much passion in the London cast. They are not "going through the motions". A must have for fans of musicals and the theater.
