About this album
Cats is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s landmark musical cast album and one of the defining stage hits of the 1980s. First heard in 1981, the score set T. S. Eliot’s feline poems to theatrical, highly melodic writing that balanced character, humour and sentiment with remarkable commercial reach. Built around memorable numbers such as Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats and Memory, it helped turn a concept-driven West End production into an international phenomenon. The album captures the scale of Lloyd Webber’s writing at the height of his early success and remains central to the musical’s long-running popularity and crossover appeal.
