The musical is filled with each cat singing about who they are and what they do, in the hopes of becoming the “Jellicle choice.” At one point, the disgraced, dirty, and formerly glamorous Grizabella sings her song (“Memory,” by far the most famous piece in the musical), moving the leader of the cats to choose her to be reborn. During that ball, their leader chooses which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and be reborn. The plot of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Cats” is thus: a group of cats – known as Jellicle cats – holds a ball every year. Warning: this article includes spoilers for the plot of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical ‘Cats’ and the recently released movie of the same name.īefore seeing two versions of “Cats” - onscreen and onstage at Boston Opera House - my only exposure to the musical was listening to the cast recording on YouTube, and having just a basic understanding of the work’s premise.
