Went to watch Cats the musical. This is my favourite song. I love the syncopated catchy rhythms. The lyrics are are very witty and I just love the rhymes; they make so much sense! Love the costumes and make-up too :)

......
Jellicles can and Jellicles do (x4)
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats (x4)

Can you sing at the same time in more than one key
Duets by Rossini and waltzes by Strauss
And can you (as cats do) begin with a 'c'
That always triumphantly brings down the house?

Jellicle cats are queen of the nights
Singing at astronomical heights
Handling pieces from the Messiah
Hallelujah, angelical choir......


Rum-tum-tugger is my favourite cat. His character was just beautifully done in the musical. The mannerisms, his voice the way he portrays himself reminds me very much of a rocker in the '80s.


I am always very impressed by people who can dance, sing and act, especially those who perform in musicals. Since I can't be one of them, all I can do is be a part of the audience!
